An uncommon Greek pick — distinctive and rare.
Xylah is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, related to xylon meaning 'wood' or 'forest.' The X opening gives it immediate visual impact, while the forest imagery grounds it in nature. Parents drawn to wood-related names like Sylva and Sylvie will love Xylah's bold, modern reinterpretation.
Xylah has 16+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2007.
