I know of it because of Mahalia Jackson, the singer, so it seems like a sassy, old-fashioned name for me. Works nicely as a mn with a short & sweet fn, I agree.

BTW, I know a little girl named Macayla (yes, that spelling) and she went on vacation with some friends of the family. And one of the older women couldn't say Macayla for the life of her, and one of the names she kept insisting on calling her was Mahalia. LOL. Eventually, they convinced her to call her Mac. :b

I think it's a beautiful name, veryuncommon but still well-known because of the singer Mahalia Jackson. I would pronounce it Ma-Hail-Lee-a, fyi.

I have an ancestor named Mahala. She and her husband, Jasper are as far back as we have been able to trace. Mahala was French, and Jasper was Irish.

I've always loved the name, though I tend to be more adventurous with my combos!

Mahalia is gorgeous. I once had the combo Patience Mahalia, but I'm not sure if that's your style.
