Meaning & History
Allegedly from Hebrew כַּלָּה (kallah) meaning "bride", a word sometimes used as a metaphor for the Sabbath (hence, "Shabbat bride"), though it is uncertain whether this is truly used as a Jewish name.Considering the submitted pronunciation is "cayla", this may be a variant of the Yiddish name Kaila (which was fairly popular in the 19th century among Ashkenazim Jews).
