Admirable or hawk-like
Shaylah is a modern phonetic variant of the Irish name Sheila, which is the Gaelic form of Cecilia. It is also sometimes associated with the Arabic name Shaila, meaning 'little mountain' or 'admirable'. In contemporary usage, it is often chosen for its soft, melodic sound and connection to Celtic roots.
