Question Summary:
Can I name my daughter Ailah/Aylah/A’ilah?

Question Detail:

Can I name my baby girl Ailah / Ayla / A'ilah?
Most islamic name websites that I have come across say that it is a Persian or Turkish name meaning moonlight. One website also says that it means noble.
Can you please tell me if this name is permissable? Does this name have a bad meaning in arabic?
Someone said it means "poor" in arabic. Can you please clarify?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
A’ilah pronounced as Aaa’ilah in Arabic means family.
Ailah/Aylah means poor, poverty etc. [1]
We do not recommend the name Aylah or A’ilah.
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
