I saw this in my sisters baby name book. What caught my eye was the meaning.
It means “she cries” in Swahili. I think it’s an absolutely beautiful name.

[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Faith[/name]
any one syllable name would sound good, but here are some longer ones that sound good:
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Rayan[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Seren[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Mirielle[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Nanette[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Charise[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] Jenean
I think it’s really pretty too!
I think most any name that doesn’t start or end with A will sound best, maybe not start with vowel sounds generally. Although it could.
1 or 2 or 4 syllables will also be best.
Are you looking for another Swahili or African name?
I think a name with a happy name might be nice to clarify / balance the meaning of “she cries” - like she cries for joy?
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
There are more happiness names, there are some lists here on NB.
here are some Swahili or African names
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Bayo[/name] (Yoruba “joy has found us”)
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Bayo[/name] (Nigerian “joy arrives”)
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Kamali[/name] (? “spirit guide, protector”)
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Valo[/name] (Malagasy, eight)
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Xois[/name] (name of an Egyptian city)
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Zizi[/name] (Swahili “pledged to God” - possibly an [name]Elizabeth[/name] connection?)
[name]Aleela[/name] [name]Zuri[/name] (Swahili “good, beautiful”)
Good luck!
