Kryla is a term that can refer to different things in Slavic languages and onomastics. In linguistic use, kryla commonly denotes wings. In Ukrainian, the plural noun крила is pronounced “kryla” and means wings. The singular is крило (krylo). In Russian, the corresponding forms are крыло (singular) and кры́лья (plural), with transliterations that may render the word as krylo, krylya, or kryla, depending on the transliteration system.

As a toponym and surname, Kryla appears in various Slavic-language contexts. It is used as the name of rural localities in some jurisdictions and can be a family name, though its occurrence and significance vary by country. When used as a place name or surname, it is typically capitalized.

Use and interpretation depend on context. In literature and folklore, kryla may be used poetically to evoke wings, flight, or freedom, but without implying a specific geographical origin.

Related terms include krylo (wing, singular), krylya (wings), and other transliterations of the same root. The word reflects a common Slavic root tied to the image of flight, which helps explain its appearance in both everyday language and as a name in various regions.
