Reila is a modern cross‑cultural given name most often treated as a variant of Leila/Layla, from Arabic Laylā meaning “night,” a symbol of beauty and rapture in classical poetry.

In Japanese settings, Reila/Reira may be written with kanji for Rei (such as 玲 ‘tinkling jade,’ 礼 ‘courtesy,’ or 麗 ‘beautiful’), combined with characters like 羅 ‘gauze/net,’ so the sense depends on the chosen script.
