Origin:Greek
Meaning:Pleasant
Whether you're rocking them to sleep or listening to their squeals and giggles, every moment will be sweet with baby Hedyla. A feminine name, Hedyla is most likely a variant of Hedyle, the title given to the Ancient Greek poetess who is quoted in Athenaeus' Deipnosophistae. Ultimately, Hedyla is said to stem from the Greek word ἡδύς, pronounced hedys. It translates to "pleasant," so don't be surprised if your tiny tot can make you smile even during a reminder to use their "kind hands" or an early morning wake-up call! Though your Hedyla will undoubtedly have days that don't feel joyful or upbeat, they'll know they can turn to you for comfort and encouragement.
