Lila is a female [[given name]] meaning [[purple]] in [[German language|German]]. The colour '''''lilac'''''- and the flower '''''lily'''''- are known as ''Lila'' in German, Dutch, Spanish, and Latin.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lila can mean '''''<nowiki/>'wise'''''' in Finnish.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lila can mean '''''<nowiki/>'blessed'''''' or '''''<nowiki/>'holy'''''<nowiki/>' in Scandinavian.<br />
<br />
Lila is the feminine form of Lyle, which comes from the French l'isle and a Scottish surname meaning '''''island'''''.<br />
<br />
American and Polish meaning of Lila is '''''<nowiki/>'of the people''''''. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Lila''' ([[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]]: लीला ''līlā'') or '''leela''' ([[Help:IPA/English|/ˈliːlə/]]) can be loosely translated as '''''"divine play"'''''. In the standard Sanskrit-English dictionary, it can mean '''''grace''''', '''''charm''''', '''''sport''''', '''''play''''', '''''pastime''''' and '''''amusement'''''.<br />
<br />
<br />
In Hinduism, Lila is a conceptualism of the universe as a '''''playground of the gods'''''. '''Lila''' is a common Indian female [[given name]] meaning "[[beauty]]". [[Lilavati]] is a variant of this name, and is also the title of a twelfth-century mathematics treatise.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lila ({{lang-ar|ليلى}}) can be a variant of the [[Arabic language|Arabic]] and [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] words for '''''"night"'''''. Other versions are Lyla (most common in Arabic) and Lilah. As a name it means '''''night''''', '''''beauty''''', or '''''dark beauty'''''. The name Lyla is a shorter version of the Hebrew and Arabic name Delilah meaning “delicate.”<br />
<br />
The angel Lailah or Laylah (Heb. לַיְלָה) is an '''''angel''''' in some interpretations in the Talmud and in some later Jewish mythology.<br />
<br />
<br />
The '''''Lyla''''' spelling variation has now superseded the original '''''Lila''''' — the former remains on the rise while the latter is falling in popularity. The name Lyla brings beauty, elegance, grace, and a sense of individuality, strength and independence. It is a name that promises to bring light and beauty to the world. She is mysterious and intriguing, just like the night sky. <br />
<br />
For a 21st century twist, Lila spelt '''''LYLA''''', could be an acronym for '''Love You Lots Always'''''.'' <br />
