Ila is a girl’s name of French origin and means “from the island.” Ila is a short and simple name that evokes images of blissful summers along the French Riviera, lounging on the beach and speeding across hairpin mountain roads like Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief. Nothing says sophistication and effortlessly cool like a French baby name, making Ila a bona fide choice for parents who love everything about the country and its culture, from the bread to the fashion and everything in between! Ila may also have links to the Turkish name Aila or Ayla, meaning "beautiful" or "halo of the moon," and the Sanskrit word ila, meaning "speech" or "Earth." This can make Ila a perfect fit for baby, whether they're a night owl, down-to-earth, or a talkative bundle of joy.
