LAILA (ليلى). Variant
spelling of Arabic Leila
(q.v.), meaning "night."
... The tragic fate of Laila
and Majnun, the children of two rival Bedouin tribes, is a love tale of
pre-Islamic times... (Warner Library of the World's Best Literature,
v.18, 1917)
LAILA (לַיְלָה). Variant
spelling of Hebrew Leila
(q.v.), meaning "dark Oriental beauty."
In the
commencement of this little tale, Laila was seventeen. She loved
and was beloved by her only parent. She was the flower, the pride,
the honour of her connections. Yes! Laila's heart had,
indeed, thrived in the smiling field of acceptable actions; and well
might her sanguine warmth of fancy paint scenes of as happy tint and of
as diversified colours as the rain-bow... (The Ladies' Literary
Cabinet, v.1, 1819)
