Ila (इला) is a Sanskrit name meaning "earth" or "speech." In the Hindu epics, Ila is the gender-shifting child of Manu — sometimes male, sometimes female.
Ila is widely used across India.
Ila 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 Ila reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
