Kyla
Pronounced KY-luh
girl
Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Kyla does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Narrow strait; Church; Beautiful", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Kyla.
- Meaning
- "Narrow strait; Church; Beautiful"
- Origin
- Gaelic/Hebrew
Kyla connects to the concept of the narrow way Jesus described: 'Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life.' The narrow path is not popular but it leads to life — choosing faithfulness over ease.
Spiritual meaning
Kyla calls believers to the narrow way — the path less traveled that leads to life, beauty, and eternal fellowship with God.
