Leila ((ヘブライ語:לילה)) ((アラビア語:ليلى)) is a feminine given name in the Hebrew, Iranian and Arabic languages. Leila is the Hebrew and Arabic word for "night", ''laylah'' (לילה) (written as ليلة in Arabic). The identification of the word "night" as the name of an angel originates with the interpretation of "Rabbi Yochanan" (possibly Yochanan ben Zakkai, c. 30–90 AD) who read "At night () and his servants deployed against them and defeated them” (Genesis 14.14, JPS) as "by (angel called ) night" (Sanhedrin 96a). In Arabic the name Layla (written as ليلى) is an adjective describing the deepness of night, the name Layla also refers to the intoxication of wine in the Arabic language. The story of ''Qays and Layla'' or ''Layla and Majnun'' is based on the romantic poems of Qais Ibn Al-Mulawwah قيس بن الملوح, who was nicknamed Majnoon Layla ((アラビア語:مجنون ليلى))(Arabic for madly in love with Layla) to his cousin Layla Al-Amiriah ليلى العامرية in 7th century Arabia,〔()〕 his poems are considered the paragon of unrequited chaste love, they later became a popular romance in medieval Iran,〔(Layla ), Behind the Name.

Variant spellings include Laela, Laelah, Laila, Layla, Leïla, Leighla, Lejla and Leyla. In the Nordic countries, Laila or Lajla (pronounced lie-lah) is derived from the Sami name ''Láilá'', the Sami variant of Helga which means ''holy''.〔(Láilá ), Behind the Name.
