Hala appears in the shadows and gently touches the heart... the ambrosial nectar of the gods, it's as if all the beauty in the world has been distilled into a single name. Like a fragrant orchard in full bloom under the moonlight, it not only graces the lips but lingers as a memory in the heart. It is in and of itself the frailty of a serendipitous moment. It is a sweet birdsong to the unparalleled loveliness which paints itself around the moon on clear, starry nights.
Hala is a unique name and it has to suit the baby. I think when you look at your baby you'll know what suits her best. The name Hala suits babies that are shy, pretty, funny, unique and elegant.
I think this name is sort of a different take on the "ara" names like mine, Dara, or Sarah, Tara. I think this name Hala is so simple and elegant and sweet for an Arabic girl with great meaning. I have to decide if I want to name my first daughter (If I have a girl) Farrah or Hala, this will be difficult. If you live in the US, this name should be very easy for Americans to pronounce, yet unique enough.
I like Hala, but I would rather it be a nickname than a person's given name. It feels short.

This name reminds me of "Hala Madrid!", the sentence Real Madrid's fans use. In Croatian it also means "a hall", so, I don't think I would use it. It is a nice name nonetheless, and other people are free to use it.
The written name Hala can be pronounced in 3 different ways according to which the meaning varies. If pronounced Haala (the emphasis is on the first syllable) it means halo around the moon,if pronounced Hala (just as it's written) it means welcome. The third meaning comes from pronouncing the H differently - it's a letter that exists almost exclusively in Arabic. The meaning then becomes: beauty. In Arabic, of course, each name is written differently. Three different pronunciations, three different names.
