Beila is in Origin.
Beila is a Yiddish feminine name, most commonly a transliteration of Beyle/Beile (ביילע), which entered Yiddish through Romance influences on medieval Ashkenazi speech. It is etymologically linked to Italian/French bella/belle, “beautiful,” with the Yiddish -e ending functioning as a familiar feminine/diminutive suffix. Pronunciations vary by dialect - approximately BAY-lah or BAY-leh - and the Anglicized spellings Beila, Baila, and Bayla all occur in records.
In use across Eastern Europe from the 18th to early 20th centuries, Beila appears widely in Jewish civil and synagogue registers and often served as a kinnui (vernacular equivalent) for the Hebrew name Yaffa, sharing the sense “beautiful.” The name has seen quiet revival in contemporary Jewish communities and in Israel, sometimes alongside or replaced by Bella. Variants and related forms include Beyla, Beile, Bayla, Baila, Bella, and Belle; note that Béla (Hungarian), a masculine royal name, is unrelated.
