Layla (more)
Hi !!!I choose Layla.
I've involved in Semitic languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic) for years. This is my field of study and I'm always interested in these cultures. Layla works both in Arabic and Hebrew and means 'night' a poetic reference in every Arabic poem. Lyra would be misunderstand here in Italy.
Infact It Is pronounced LEE-ra. Lira was also the currency before Euro. Both money and constellation have their origin from the Ancient Greek instrument yes but it is a literarian reference while the currency is a daily link still nowadays (people often say: 'Oh! It is too expansive! When we were using lira It would cost...'. Totally unusable.Personal Name Lists https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/125456
