egyptians always use " ليلى " as a name but usually, we write it in English as "Laila" Still we can use " ليله" which means "night" and we can write it "Lila" so I prefer to ask about the intended meaning of the name. in general, the most famous name in Egypt is " ليلي"

ليلا

أعتقد أنه مختلف عن ليلى لأن ليلا من الفرنسية بمعنى زهرة الليلك

شكرًا أخي، هل كان الاسم هو العلا؟
Note from asker:
Thank you so much, my question was about a men's SURNAME, rather than about women's name Layla/Leyla (I know well how to spell it in Arabic)
Peer comment(s):

agree Inas Albaba : خصوصًا إذا الاسم من الأسماء الرائجة مؤخرًا مثل ميلا وآيلا، لأن اسم ليلى يكتب Layla أو Laila
