Meaning
variant of Myla, itself possibly a feminine form of Miles shaped by the sound of names like Kyla
The story
Mylah is a name built by ear. The reference books file it as a variant of Myla, which is possibly a feminine form of Miles shaped by the sound of names like Kyla, and the h is an American flourish that softens nothing and signals everything. Nothing about it is ancient, and the record says so honestly: about 33 girls in the 1990s, 560 in the 2000s, 2,440 in the 2010s, and already 3,510 so far this decade, more than the whole 2010s produced. In our records it goes to girls, about 6,500, without one recorded boy. Its sound-cousin Mila runs at about 84,500 girls with her own story, a resemblance of ear rather than of family. A young name, assembled from sounds already at home on American certificates, and rising fast.
