It reached its peak popularity in 2023 and has been on a rising trajectory overall. In 2025, it was given to about 1 in every 12,269 baby girls, placing it at rank 1,592. The name shows regional preference in the South, with highest usage in Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina. While its meaning is uncertain, its appeal lies in its melodic, contemporary feel.
Anyla appears to be a modern coinage, likely formed by combining the fashionable prefix 'An-' with the popular suffix '-yla' (seen in names like Kayla or Layla). The name first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1998 and has seen gradual use since, particularly in the southern states. There is no known historical or linguistic root.
