What is the meaning of the name Sala ?

The baby name Sala is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SAH-luh.

Sala is Arabic in Origin.

Sala is best treated as a simplified English spelling of Arabic ṣila, written صلة in the classical language. The noun belongs to the Semitic root w-ṣ-l, concerned with joining, reaching, or maintaining ties; its literal sense is connection, bond, or relationship, especially a kinship tie. In unmarked transliteration the final -a often represents Arabic tāʾ marbūṭa, so Sala may stand for ṣilah rather than a separate Arabic form.

As a given name, Sala is uncommon and appears more often in modern diaspora records than in older Arabic naming lists. It should be distinguished from salām, peace, and from the Italian, Spanish, and Catalan surname Sala, a place-name word for a hall or manor house. Related spellings include Sila and Silah; Sarah is not an etymological variant. In U.S. data, Sala has remained rare and predominantly female.
