History & Origin

Zenayla is a modern name joining a Zen- opening — echoing Zina, 'beauty' (Arabic) — with the -ayla ending, echoing Ayla, 'a halo of moonlight' (Turkish) or 'an oak' (Hebrew), and Layla, 'night' (routes layered, which we flag). A soft, lyrical, modern name (said 'zə-NAY-lah'; nickname Zena).

It registers thinly in records. Rare, beauty-or-light in echo, and lyrical.
