Meaning & origin
Beila is a rare name in the United States, first appearing in records in 1977. It has never ranked among the top 1000 names and is given to fewer than five babies per year in most years. Its peak year was 2011, when it reached its highest recorded usage. The name's trajectory has been stable since then, with very occasional use. Most likely a modern respelling of Bella or a direct borrowing from Yiddish, Beila carries a similar sound and meaning. It has not been concentrated in any particular state, reflecting its scattered use across the country.
Beila is a modern spelling variant of the name Bella, which is a short form of names ending in -bella (like Isabella) and means 'beautiful' in Italian. It also coincides with the Yiddish name Beila (spelled ביילה), meaning 'a woman' or derived from Yiddish 'beyle' meaning 'white, fair'. The name has seen occasional use in the United States since the late 20th century, particularly in the 2010s, but remains relatively uncommon.
