About the name Nimila
Nimila is a scarce name even by the standards of this list, formed on a root describing eyes half-closed in calm. It arrived in the -ila wave alongside Rasila and Sharmila but never gained the same traction.
Nimila is a girl name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced nih-MEE-laa. On the NameRarity scale it scores 98 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
