Innocent, pure, or wind
Anilah is a name with multiple potential roots, most notably appearing in Arabic contexts where it relates to innocence and purity. It is also sometimes associated with the Sanskrit word for wind, Anil, though the feminine 'Anilah' is more commonly found in Muslim communities. Its rarity in the United States makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a melodic, global sound.
