An uncommon Finnish pick — distinctive and rare.
a female given name
Eila is a girl's baby name of Finnish origin, a Finnish form of Helga or Aili, connected to meanings of 'holy' or 'radiant.' It is also used in Hebrew contexts as a form of Eilah, meaning 'oak tree.'
Eila has a cool Nordic minimalism — two vowel-rich syllables that are easy to say but hard to forget, with the kind of gentle strength that has made Scandinavian names so popular with modern parents.
Eila climbed 9977 spots in the last 20 years — from #11933 to #1956.
