US Popularity:2056
Origin:Modern
Meaning:Blue-crested bird
When the girl’s name Jayla got way too many uses on birth certificates, American parents welcomed the variation Jaylah. The warm embrace has since cooled, but it's still a stellar choice for those who want to give baby a name that strays from the crowd—just not too far. A modern invented title made from the elements jay and lah, Jaylah is reminiscent of Jaylen and Kayla. Its meaning may be derived from the blue-crested bird whose song delights the ears of many. It made its first foray into the pop culture world when a featured movie character in Star Trek Beyond in 2016 was named Jaylah.
