774.0. "Kayla beautiful Kayla" by BSS::K_LAFFIN () Mon Mar 23 1992 19:18

    I have had two interpretations of my daughter's name told to me.
    A gentleman in the mall had told me his little girl's name is also
    Kayla and that it an American Indian name meaning "morning sun".
    My Nana tells me that it is a Galic name and it means "lovely".
    We chose this name because my husband wanted an Irish name and 
    Meghan, Colleeen and Margaret just didn't thrill me.
    
    Does anyone know what the origin of the name Kayla is?

    I had to ead your note twice.  I have a friend in the states
    with the name of Katrina, and HER daughter's name is Kayla as
    well.  Her mother is from England, and their family all
    named all the girls with "k"'s.
    
    NOt sure on the meaning, just always thought it was pretty!
774.2meaning of KaylaPAWN6::PITTSThu Mar 26 1992 13:3612

        My baby name book says Kayla is a modern version of Kathleen.
     It is derived from Greek meaning "PURE".

        I am due in May, and after many months of searching, my husband
     and I have decided that if we have a girl, her name will be 
     Kayla Nicole Pitts.

    Sorry, I looked it up again, and Kayla is a variation of Katherine,
not Kathleen as I previously stated.
