Modern invented name, possibly meaning night or exalted
Jalayla is a modern American coinage likely created by blending the prefix 'Ja-' with the name Layla or Jala. If derived from Layla, it carries the Arabic meaning of 'night,' while a connection to Jala suggests 'exalted' or 'illustrious.' It follows the contemporary trend of rhythmic, multi-syllabic names ending in 'la'.
