They are simply following the Turkish origin of the name. Ayla in Turkish means halo of light around the moon. The name may have its roots in old Persian, where it means moonlight. Ayla is also seen as a variant of Hebrew in the name Eilah which means oak tree.. My 6 year old is named Ayla, and she often gets her name mispronounced as EYE-LA. It's pronounced exactly as it's spelled: AY-LA.
