egyptians always use " ليلى " as a name but usually, we write it in English as "Laila" Still we can use " ليله" which means "night" and we can write it "Lila" so I prefer to ask about the intended meaning of the name. in general, the most famous name in Egypt is " ليلي"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you so much, my question was about a men's SURNAME, rather than about women's name Layla/Leyla (I know well how to spell it in Arabic)


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Inas Albaba: خصوصًا إذا الاسم من الأسماء الرائجة مؤخرًا مثل ميلا وآيلا، لأن اسم ليلى يكتب Layla أو Laila
