Meaning & background
(oo-JAH-lah): Hindi or Urdu usage meaning brightness or light. Rare in English-speaking naming circles, but very vivid. It first appears in American naming data in 2001. It now sits outside the national top 1,000, which keeps it uncommon. Roughly 5 people have been given the name to date — a true rarity.
