Isla is Scottish in Origin.
Isla (EYE-lə) is a Scottish given name drawn from the Hebridean island of Islay and from the River Isla in Perthshire. The Gaelic name of the island is Ìle; its deeper etymology is uncertain and likely pre-Gaelic, though modern bearers often read Isla as “island” by association (and mirroring the Spanish word isla).
Used as a feminine name in Scotland from the late 19th century, Isla saw quiet use through the 20th before a surge in the 2000s, helped by figures such as folk singer Isla Cameron, actress Isla Blair, and especially Isla Fisher. It now ranks high across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand and has climbed rapidly in the United States. Variants and related forms include Islay, Ìle (as a place-name form), and Ila; Aila is sometimes treated as a cognate, though Ayla is unrelated. Nicknames are uncommon.
