Meaning & History
This is a modern Irish name based on the Irish Aodh stemming from áed which means "fire" combined with the popular modern suffix of la. It was likely also inspired by names with popular sounds such as Ayla. It's not a traditional Irish name. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a form of Isla. Aodh can only sound like AY or EE in Irish, never like EYE.
