Variation of Zaila, meaning night or to jump
Xaila is a modern, rare name likely derived from the Arabic name Zaila or the Hebrew name Sela. In Arabic contexts, it is often associated with the meaning of 'night,' while in Hebrew it can relate to 'rock' or 'cliff.' Its use in the United States is contemporary, often chosen for its unique initial and melodic sound.
