Excerpt: Laila, Layla, Leila, Lejla, Laela, Laelah, or Leyla (Arabic: ¿) is an internationally-used Arabic feminine given name originating in the Semitic languages. The name is derived from the tri-consonantal root: ¿-¿-¿ (Lamedh-Yodh-Lamedh) L-Y-L (¿¿¿, a root shared with the Hebrew name ¿¿¿¿ which transliterated, sounds Laila) and means "Night"; over time it has been taken to mean "Born at Night," "Dark-haired Beauty" or "Dark Beauty." The 7th century Arab poet Qays addressed romantic poems to a woman called Layla. The story of Qays and Layla or Layla and Majnun became a popular romance in the medieval Arab World and Persia, and use of the name spread accordingly; it gained popularity further afield in the Muslim World, among the Turkic peoples and in the Balkans and India.

The colloquial Arabic pronunciation of the name often omit the unstressed second syllable and render it as Fatma when romanized. The town of Fátima in Portugal was named after a Moorish princess. It was the site of a famous Marian apparition in 1917, after which it achieved some popularity as a female personal name among Roman Catholics, especially Portuguese-speaking and to some degree Spanish-speaking. The surname Ma (¿), is a common family name for Chinese Muslims, and is sometimes said to derive from the name Fatima. The Turkish and Azeri transliteration of the name is either Fatme or Fatma or Fadime. In Somali the name became Faduma. The Persian transliteration is Fatemeh and it is in Kabyle. Spelt as Fátima, the name is also co
