Aquylla is Latin in Origin.

Aquylla is a modern, stylistic respelling of Aquilla/Aquila, a name from Latin aquila "eagle." In ancient Rome Aquila served as a cognomen and as the standard of the legions, cementing strong, martial symbolism; it also appears in the New Testament borne by the Jewish Christian Aquila, husband of Priscilla, making the name familiar in early Christian communities. English Puritans revived Aquilla in the 17th century, and the form has hovered as a rare, often unisex, given name since.

Variants include Aquila (Latin/Italian), Aquilla (English), Áquila (Portuguese), Aquilina (feminine) and Aquilino (masculine); related surnames occur across Romance languages. The celestial association with the constellation Aquila adds a skyward, mythic layer to its imagery. Aquylla retains the core meaning "eagle" while offering a distinctive modern look; it is sometimes mistaken for Arabic Akilah/Aqila, which is unrelated.
