Ayla is the name of the main character in the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean Auel. In the first book, when she's rescued after an earthquake by some Neanderthal people, the Cro-Magnon name she has sounds like Ay-la to them and that's how most people who have come across the name Ayla know to say it.
