Quilla is Quechua in Origin.
Quilla has dual roots. In Quechua, Killa means “moon” and names the Inca moon goddess Mama Quilla; Spanish spelling often renders it Quilla. The name is also read as a clipped or feminized form of Latin Aquila, “eagle,” known from the New Testament figure. Related Latin forms include Aquila (unisex) and Aquilina. The Spanish noun quilla “keel” is unrelated.
As a given name, Quilla is rare, most visible in Andean communities and among parents drawn to celestial or nature-inspired choices. In English-speaking countries it has seen modest modern use since the late 20th century. Variants and close forms include Killa and Qilla on the Quechua side; nicknames Quil, Quill, or Quilly. Overall meanings: “moon” or “eagle,” depending on lineage preferred.
