Meaning of Naila
My name is Naila. It means ‘achiever’, ‘attainer’, and ‘the successful one’. It is an Arabic name, but also very common in my home country of Pakistan. I have never lived in Pakistan; I have always lived in Arab countries, and they pronounce my name quite differently than Pakistanis do. My mom named me Naila as she said she liked that name. I know the male version of my name is Nael, which is also Arabic, but I have not heard of any Pakistani guys called Nael.
