History & Origin
Vila most likely trims Villa, the Spanish word for a town or country house, to a single -l. It also matches a Slavic form of the same spelling. Used rarely for American girls in the early nineteen-hundreds, it reads as a gentle word-name of uncertain exact source.
It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around 1926 and lingering faintly for decades. A girl named Vila then would be past a hundred today, of a great-grandmother generation.
