Nyla has two parallel origins. As an Arabic name, it derives from Naila — feminine of Nail, meaning "winner" or "achiever." As a Sanskrit name, it relates to nila, meaning "dark blue" (the colour associated with Krishna and the Nile).
Nyla entered the U.S. top 1000 in 2009 and has been rising rapidly. Today it sits in the U.S. top 500.
Nyla 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 Nyla reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
