Here’s a name to ease your worried mind! Eric Clapton may have taken this name to new heights with his iconic tune “Layla,” but this lyrical and musical moniker has a lot more going for it. With Hebrew and Arabic origins, Lalya means “dark beauty,” “born at night,” or simply “night.” Perfect for parents who are a fan of the darker side of life, this short and sweet feminine name has an aura of mystery surrounding it. It is also a twist on the popular root name Leila. Some notable namesakes include singer Tanya Tucker’s daughter, Layla LaCosta, Sky High character Layla, and Layla El-Faoula (a.k.a the Scarlet Scarab) in the Marvel show Moon Knight.
