ArchivesAlternatives to spell Shayla
I wanted to know about the origin of the name Shayla. It is a female name; however I'm not sure about the ethnic background. I would also like to know any alternative ways to spell Shayla, for example xyla?

You want the board next door (please read inside)
Though you're definitely on the right board for asking about a name's origin, if you're inquiring about what spellings of Shayla would be nice aside from Shayla, then you should go here: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/list.php?board=baby. The possible exception would be if you want a listing of international variants of a name not listed on BtN.
Personally, I think Shayla's simply a combination of Shay and the meaningless modern name suffix -la. Or it may be a variant of Sheila, as Behind the Name lists. It could even be a variant of Shayna via replacing the N with a L. But I'd put my money on the first theory.
