Meaning & Origin

Xayla is a girl's baby name of American origin, a creative variant of Kayla — itself a combination of Kay and the popular -la suffix, or a short form of Katherine meaning 'pure.' The X- opening transforms the familiar Kayla into something dramatically more exotic and contemporary.

Xayla exemplifies the trend of taking beloved sounds and giving them a completely different visual identity through the X- prefix. The result keeps the warmth and accessibility of Kayla while ensuring that no other child in the class will have the same name.
