Where does the name Isla come from?
Isla is a variant of Islay, says Behind the Name, the name of an island off the west coast of Scotland, and it is usually given to girls. It spread from Scotland to become very popular across the English-speaking world in the 2010s and 2020s. The spelling also matches the Spanish word isla, “island”, though the two are pronounced differently.
Other forms of Isla
Behind the Name lists Islay as the Scottish form and Iyla as an English variant. Isla is short already, so it rarely needs a nickname.
Well-known Islas

She played Shannon Reed in Home and Away, then moved to Hollywood, starring in Wedding Crashers, Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Great Gatsby and Now You See Me, and voicing roles in Horton Hears a Who! and Rango.

A few more things about Isla
The island behind the name is called the Queen of the Hebrides. Wikipedia says Islay is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides and the fifth-largest Scottish island. On 17th-century maps it was spelled Yla or Ila, a form that survives in the name of the whisky Caol Ila. Its capital, Bowmore, is known for a distinctive round church, and someone from Islay is called an Ileach.
