Meaning & background
(so-LAY-ah): A modern-feeling elaboration inspired by Soleil and Sol names. More style-driven than traditional, but lovely. It first shows up in American naming data in 2005. Usage has ticked up in recent years while remaining off the most-common lists. Roughly 87 people have been given the name to date — a true rarity.
