Jaila is English in Origin.
Jaila is a modern English given name, primarily feminine, usually pronounced JAY-lah. It is most often a respelling of Jayla, a late-20th-century American coinage formed from Jay plus the -la ending, influenced by Layla (Arabic layl, “night”). Some also note overlap with Hebrew Yael/Jael, meaning “ibex; to ascend,” which inspired spellings like Jaela.
Jaila appears in U.S. records from the 1990s, rising with Jayla and other -ayla names in the 2000s, especially in African-American communities; it remains the rarer spelling. Variants and related forms include Jayla, Jaylah, Jaela, Jaelah, Jaylea, and Jailah. Depending on the root, Jaila can mean “night” or “to ascend,” though many choose it for its lilting sound.
