Very common in Iran and Afghanistan. Whoever tells you this is Arabic is a liar.
This name is also used in Portuguese-speaking countries, though you don't hear it too often in Portugal - it's more common in Brazil and in former Portuguese colonies in Africa such as Mozambique and Angola.
Common in Bosnia, but I also meet people named Leila here in Istria (region of Croatia) although it might just be the high percentage of Bosnians in the population (higher than in any other Croatian county)...
Leila is also the Georgian form of Layla. It is commonly used in the country. And I mean, commonly used by native Georgians - not just by Arab immigrants.In Georgian, Leila is written as: ლეილა.Known bearers of this name include Georgian actress, director and writer Leila Abashidze (b. 1929) and retired Georgian professional tennis player Leila Meskhi (b. 1968).
