Across the world, Skila (Skila 
) is a rare dominantly female, but infrequently male given name. The forename Skila is characteristic of Algeria, where it is a rare boy's name, India, where it is a very rare principally female, but scarcely masculine name, and South Africa, where it is a very rare largely male, but seldom girly name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is the most numerous in India, Algeria, and the United States. Much less frequently, Skila is the last name as well as the forename.
