Grace or favor; possibly a variation of Anala
Anaila is a rare name likely derived from the Sanskrit 'Anala', meaning fire, or as a modern elaboration of the Hebrew name Anna, meaning grace. Its usage in the United States is contemporary and often chosen for its melodic, multi-syllabic sound. Due to its rarity, it lacks a singular definitive etymological path.
