Meaning: the laurel crown; slim and fair

Although laurel crowns as a symbol have roots in Ancient Rome, they're recognized around the world as a sign of victory. It's no surprise then that Kaela, a name meaning "the laurel crown," has roots in various cultures including Hebrew, Hawaiian, and Irish. It's a variant of the Hawaiian name Kaila, which means "the laurel crown; style," and the Irish name Caoilainn, whose meaning of "slim and fair" can be tied to the supernatural Tuatha de Danann people of Irish legend. With this name, the sky is the limit for baby, whatever she tries her hand at.
