History & Origin

Rickayla is a late-1990s blend of Rick and Kayla, the kind of name parents coin to fold a loved one into a fashionable sound. Kayla is usually linked to Michaela, from the Hebrew for 'who is like God?,' so Rickayla borrows that gentle background while its real story is the family tie in Rick.

Rickayla was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year around 1999 at the height of Kayla's popularity. A girl named Rickayla then is in her mid-twenties today, and the name reads as a personal, one-family creation of that moment.

Did you know? Blends like Rickayla often carry a hidden tribute, tucking a father's or grandfather's Rick into a daughter's up-to-the-minute Kayla.
