Quylla
Quylla Origin and Meaning
Quylla is a rare feminine name of Quechua origin, derived from the indigenous language of the Andes region in South America. In Quechua, 'quylla' or 'killa' refers to the moon, which held sacred significance in Inca civilization as a feminine deity. The name connects to Mama Quilla, the moon goddess in Inca mythology who was considered a protector of women. The unusual spelling with 'Qu' rather than 'K' represents an adaptation of the original Quechua sound to other language systems. As an uncommon name even within Andean countries, Quylla remains virtually unknown internationally. The name carries rich cultural significance, connecting a child to indigenous South American heritage and celestial symbolism. With its unique sound and profound meaning, Quylla offers a distinctive choice that celebrates Pre-Columbian cultural traditions.
