Meaning & History

Possibly means "a drink of water" in Arabic. It is sometimes associated with the Arabic word نَحْلَة (naḥla) meaning "bee".

This name gained some popularity in the United States after it was used by American actress Halle Berry for her daughter born 2008; in this case it could also be variant of Nala 2.
