Night beauty or dark-haired
Laylana is a modern elaboration of the name Layla, which is derived from the Arabic word for 'night'. It suggests a sense of nocturnal beauty or a child born during the night. The addition of the '-ana' suffix is a common English-language trend to create a more melodic, rhythmic sound.
