Uncertain; possibly a variant of Azalea or Zaylee
Zaylia is a modern American invention, likely created as a blend of the floral name Azalea and the popular 'Zay' prefix found in names like Zaylee. It follows the contemporary trend of adding the 'lia' suffix to create a melodic, feminine sound. Because it is a recent creation, it lacks a singular historical etymology.
About 14 girls were named Zaylia in 2025.
