Shayla is a baby girl name of Irish and Gaelic origin. Coming from Irish words like sí and síbhruíon, it means meaning “fairy palace.” Throughout the years, Irish people have spoken about Irish fairy lore, which includes the—somewhat—infamous leprechauns and púcas. Nevertheless, the baby girl name Shayla carries the meaning of a supernatural place, home to enchanted people. Shayla can also be a respelling of Sheila—or Síle in Irish—which has connections to the Latin Cecilia, meaning "blind." Shayla can also have links to the Irish Shea or Séaghdha, meaning "majestic" or "favored." Whether you adore Irish history and mythology or want to introduce baby to the magic of the world, the name Shayla will never lead you astray.
