Likely a modern combination of Naya and Leah
Nayleah is a contemporary American invention, likely created by blending the prefix 'Nay-' (as seen in Naya or Nayeli) with the classic suffix '-leah'. Because it is a modern coinage, it does not have a singular traditional etymology, but it carries the phonetic appeal of its constituent parts. It is often chosen by parents looking for a unique, melodic sound that feels familiar yet rare.
