Meaning of Laila
Laila is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “ecstasy”, “intoxication”. Laila is derived from the L-Y-L root (“night”) which is used in the Quran. We can be sure that Laila is an acceptable name for Muslim girls as it is the name of a Sahabiyyah (female peer of the Prophet peace be upon him), whose full name is Laila bint Khutaim and who was the first woman to pledge her allegiance to the Prophet when he entered the city of Madinah.

What is it is spelled Layla is it the same as Laila or is it haram I’ve been trying to find the answer to this question for a long time now?

Layla is the same as Laila is the same as Leila. They are all the same name. There is no such thing as “haram spelling.”

I am getting confused messages about the pronunciation of Layla. I keep being told it should be pronounced like Lie-la whereas you have it pronounced as Lay-la. Which is correct and are the different pronunciations for different meanings of the word?

My younger sister’s name! ^__^
I don’t think any other name would’ve suited her better than Laila.
If I can recall properly, this name also means ” night ” or ” dark beauty ” in Arabic and Hebrew… right?
Or am I mistaken? =0

I hear it is haram to keep names with unpleasant meanings.
Layla also means intoxication so does this make it haram?

Laila means night, which is not really nice in terms of meaning. Night is like darkness

Night is beautiful. The moon and the stars are out at night. You need darkness to see the light. Every Laila I know is a strong beautiful leader.
