History & etymology:

Layla is the name of Arabian origin and means night. It became popular as a given name in Arabia and Persia in the 7th century after a series of romantic poems dedicated to a woman named Layla had been written by Qays, Arabic writer.

In 1970, Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon wrote a song ‘Layla’. It was performed by Derek & The Dominos. The song soon became popular and so did the name Layla.
