Meaning & Story

Laila is an Arabic feminine name, a variant of Leila, meaning night or dark beauty. It has roots in classical Arabic poetry and literature — Layla is the beloved in the legendary tale of Majnun Layla, one of the great love stories of the Arab world. The name carries romance, mystery, and a poetic darkness that is deeply beautiful.

Laila is a name with genuine romance in it. It suits dark-coated, soulful-eyed pets perfectly — a black Labrador with soft eyes, a dark tortoiseshell cat who moves like a shadow. The Arabic origin gives it an exotic depth that makes it feel distinctive without being difficult to pronounce. Laila is also a name that sounds beautiful spoken aloud, which matters for a name you'll be saying thousands of times. It belongs to pets who are both beautiful and a little mysterious.
