Hi from England- where it rains - a lot. Everyone tries to spell it with an S which is apparently scottish (Isla)- weird right❤️! I like the name but sometimes people give me funny looks when i say it. But in the end they say something like 'very nice' which is lame but still reasuring. I get called I a lot or I-lah-lah then'there's hi-lah like someone said before...scroll down... My mum was in india when i was born and its a hindu name'so it figures. Overall its weird and wacky so i like it! xxx

I named my daughter Ila after looking at baby names online in 2017. I read that its means island in french. Many people when I tell them her name'say that her unique name matches her beauty. I hope that when she grows up she realizes that her name was given'to her because of It's uniqueness. We all want our children'to be unique or outstand in something.

I was named after my Great Grandmother who was of Blackfoot decention (Native American). From the reasearch I have done, the meaning is simply "Bird of Prey." It is very rare to find someone who can pronounce "Ila" correctly much less spell it without adding extra letters. One time I had an employer who (even after being corrected several times) decided the new spelling was "Ilza." Don't ask to pronounce that. :) -Ila 22 years old, P.S. I LOVE MY NAME!!

I was named after my great grandmother Ila. The correct pronunciation is "eye-lah", but people often give it a latin spin and call me "ee-lah", which doesn't bother me too much. But when I answer the phone "This is Ila" or say "I'm Ila", then'they assume I'm saying "Zila" or "Mila", which is the a bit more annoying. People have thought up many ways to make it a nic-name, such as "Hi-la" or "Bye-la", but my favorite was "I lah, I love you." I have met a few people with my name, but most have been over the age of 50 and all of them have been very sweet and nice to talk to. Apparently It's a very old name for very nice people! :)

My name and I have liked the name. Most people try to make the'spelling harder. I have met several with that name, one lady probably born in the late 1800's and another born about 1910. My mother heard the name on a girl she attended school with and that lady would have been born about 1910. A gal now probably in her 30's and now I have met a baby. The parents of the baby were told the name was Hindu, harkly I would think since it has existed in this country with the Ila spelling since in the 1800's.

My name is Ila, by religion I am Hindu and my name is an ancient Sanskrit name literally meaning Earth. Ila is also the name of the Hindu goddess of sacred speech and is recognised as the daughter of Manu (in Hindu traditions, Manu is a title accorded to the first man), having arisen from a sacrifice which Manu performed for the purpose of obtaining off-spring. In Hindi it is pronounced Ee-la but does sometimes get mispronounced as Eye-la. Im often'told I have a beautiful name'so Im quite proud of it!
