Meaning & origin

Its peak year was 2006, but like many names from that era, its usage has since declined. The name's trajectory shows a falling trend since 2005, with no recent top state concentrations. It remains a distinctive choice, reflecting the modern American tradition of blending sounds from established names like Mikayla and Takara.
