Meaning and history
Myla is a modern English name, probably created as a feminine form of Miles under the influence of similar names such as Kyla. Through Miles, it may ultimately be connected with the Slavic element milu, meaning "gracious" or "dear," though its precise development is uncertain. Notable bearers include American writer Myla Goldberg and model and artist Myla Dalbesio.
