From the fairy palace or blind
Shayla is often considered a modern variant of the Irish name Sheila, which is the Gaelic form of Cecilia. It can also be interpreted as a combination of the name Shea, meaning 'stately' or 'admirable', with the popular 'la' suffix. In some contexts, it is associated with the Arabic word for a type of headscarf, though as a Western given name, its roots are primarily Celtic.
