Kyla debuted on the U.S. female naming charts in 1974. For the first 20 years, the name had low-to-moderate success but by the mid 1990s it got a little push up the charts. Kyla reached her peak popularity in 2004 when the name placed #162 in terms of usage (and given to about 2,000 baby girls that year). Since that time, Kyla has been experiencing backwards momentum on the charts. The name has no clear meaning rooted in etymology; it’s more of a guessing game.

Plain though it may be, it’s still pretty sounding.
