Akeelah is a female name of American origin, primarily derived from the Spanish name Aquila, meaning "Eagle." However, it also has Arabic roots, where it is an indirect Quranic name meaning "very wise," "very discerning," "sensible," and "reasonable." The name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly due to the 2006 movie "Akeelah and the Bee," which tells the story of a young girl who competes in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The name's importance lies in its multifaceted origins and its association with intelligence and wisdom.
