Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Iylah: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2012.

Iylah is a modern, creative spelling of the Scottish name Isla, which itself derives from the Hebridean island of Islay. The name ultimately traces back to an Old Norse or Gaelic term meaning “island,” evoking a sense of natural beauty and calm. There are no widely known historical or famous bearers of this particular spelling, but the name has grown in popularity across Scotland and the UK since the early 2000s as parents seek fresh variations on classic names. Islay itself remains the most direct place connection, a real island famed for its whisky and rugged landscapes
