Night beauty or dark-haired beauty
Aleila is a rare variant of the Arabic name Layla, which translates to 'night'. It is often used to describe a beauty born at night or one with dark hair and eyes. While extremely uncommon in the United States, it offers a melodic and modern twist on a classic Middle Eastern name.
