Zeila
Meaning of Zeila
Zeila (ZAY-lah) glides off the tongue like a breeze over a sunlit plaza, standing tall in both Arabic heritage—where it whispers of “shade” and “protection”—and historical lore as an ancient Somali port brimming with traders’ tales. In Spanish-speaking families, its zesty Z and lilting two-syllable rhythm feel like a celebratory paso doble, minus any risk of zebra mix-ups because Zeila dances to her own beat. Delightfully rare in the U.S.—just five to eight newborns claim the name each year, landing it in the 900s since the mid-2010s—that scarcity becomes its ace, ensuring your little Zeila shines like a lone star in a Southern sky. She’s bold, warm, and bursting with stories waiting to be told. Ready for a name as unique and vibrant as she is? Say hola to Zeila.
