Moon; heavenly; or a modern variant of Selah
Cylah is a modern American invention, likely created as a phonetic variant of the Greek name Cyla or the Hebrew Selah. It may also be interpreted as a creative spelling of Scylla or a diminutive of Priscilla. Its usage is primarily driven by the trend of adding 'h' endings to short, lyrical names.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Cylah in 2025.
