Peilla is French in Origin.

Peilla is a rare modern feminine given name with uncertain but likely Romance roots. The -illa ending is a familiar diminutive in Spanish, Catalan, and Italian, suggesting an affectionate elaboration of shorter forms such as Pia ("pious, devout" from Latin pius) or Pella (a classical and biblical place-name). In this light, Peilla can be read as "little pious one" or a lyrical place-inspired variant. Its bright initial Pei- and soft -ella cadence place it with contemporary, melody-first coinages.

Usage appears sparse and recent, showing up more in contemporary birth lists and naming forums than in older records. Variants and near-forms include Peila, Piella, Pella, and Peela; diminutives or nicknames may be Pei, Ella, or Lia. Related choices with clearer etymologies are Pia, Paola, and Petra. Peilla suits parents seeking an uncommon, Romance-flavored name with gentle elegance.
