Azayla is a modern American coinage that blends the flower name Azalea, from a Greek word meaning "dry" because the shrub thrives in dry soil, with the sound of Zayla and Kayla. It has no history before this century but offers an unusual spin on a familiar rhythm. Azayla had fewer than five births in 2000, rose from number 4505 in 2015 to number 3288 in 2024 and reaches its best rank so far in 2025 at number 2906 with 58 births.
