Myla, a more unique and modern way of spelling Mila, is derived from the Slavic element milŭ, meaning "gracious" or "dear." It can also be a feminine diminutive of the name Miles, sometimes spelled Myles. The name didn't appear in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names until 2005, so the name was likely popularized in the U.S. based on its sound, like Kyla. Either way, it cracked the top-200 for the first time in 2022 and has been on a steady incline since 2019. It's also the name former tennis pro Roger Federer gave one of his twin daughters, born in 2009.
