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 reduces to three — the number of bright achievement.
