From the Diyala River in Iraq
Diala is a feminine name primarily of Arabic origin, derived from the Diyala River, a major tributary of the Tigris. In some contexts, it is also associated with the concept of a 'scent' or 'honey,' though its geographical connection is most prominent. It is a rare choice in the United States, offering a melodic and international appeal.
