Shyla

Shyla is a modern English coinage that most likely arose as a phonetic variant or elaborated spelling of Sheila, itself an Anglicized form of the Irish name Síle, which is a Gaelic adaptation of the Latin Cecilia, meaning blind or sixth. The name gained use in the late twentieth century as part of a broader trend of creating feminine names with the -yla ending, similar to Kayla and Layla. Related forms include Sheila, Síle, and Cecilia.
