Meaning & Origin

A female given name.

Xyla is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, derived from the Greek xylon meaning "wood" or "of the forest." It is a nature name with a rare, distinctive sound — the X opening makes it visually striking and immediately memorable.

Xyla appeals to parents who want a nature name with genuine uniqueness. Its connection to forests and wood gives it an earthy, grounded quality beneath its exotic appearance. The name has the clean, two-syllable structure of popular names like Aria and Isla, but with far more rarity.
