Rhyllah is in Origin.

Rhyllah is a rare modern feminine name, likely an ornamental elaboration of Rilla with a Welsh-flavored spelling (echoing the place-name Rhyl). Rilla itself has English usage as a short form of Marilla or Amarilla. Through Marilla’s connection to Mary (from Hebrew Miryam), the name inherits debated meanings such as “beloved,” “wished-for child,” or “bitterness.” Literary visibility for the base form comes from L. M. Montgomery’s Rilla of Ingleside (1921), which helped keep Rilla in modest circulation.

Usage of Rhyllah remains very limited in the English-speaking world, appearing sporadically in recent decades amid interest in creative -yl/-ah endings. Pronunciation varies by family: often RIL-uh (as with Rilla) or sometimes RYE-luh (by analogy with Rylah). Close variants and cognates include Rilla, Rylla, Rhylah, Rhyla, Rylah, and Rila; related longer forms are Marilla and Amarilla. Nicknames may include Rhy, Rilla, or Lala.
