In Latin, the "ae" is pronounced like the letter I or the word eye in English. So I pronounce it LIE-lee-a.

No matter how it's pronounced I think that this name is really beautiful and would definitely use it for a future daughter.

Laelia probably means "lunar".
It is the part of a puzzling alchemical inscription (Aelia Laelia Crispus) found in Bologna, which some have theorized is a representation of two beings (Aelia and Laelia) who are united in a single subject, Crispy "curly", with Aelia being "solar" and Laelia being "lunar" while Crispus, a combination of both, is the basic of all life: neither man or woman, a mixture of both.

Neat name.

I like this name a lot. It is very similar to a Persian name transliterated Lailiya.
