History & Origin
Delyla is a -yla spelling of Delilah — from Hebrew, variously 'delicate; languishing, weak' and 'of the night' (linked to laylah, 'night'; the biblical Delilah; routes layered, which we note). A lyrical, soft name; the -yla styling personalizes it (said 'də-LY-lah'; nickname Lila).
It registers thinly beside Delilah. Rare in this spelling, delicate-or-of-the-night at the root, and lyrical.
