I checked in my Hawaiian names book and neither Kailah nor Kaila appear in it.

Shelly_lu's information about Kailah meaning "the laurel crown" in Hebrew is, in fact, a mistake. According to C.K. Evans, Kayla is a Yiddish form of Kelila, which is a Hebrew name that means "crown of laurel".

And, implicitly, it seems clair that Kailah is just a respelling of Kayla and not a different name with a different meaning as she claimed.

ETA: misspelling in Shelly_lu's nickname.
