Gila (גִּילָה) is the Hebrew word for "joy" or "happiness." Used widely in modern Israel.
Gila is widely used in Israel.
Gila does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Gila reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
