Xeyala started simply because I wanted a way of gifting a memory to a very good friend.
The name
xeyal
/ kheh-YAL /
Imagination. A daydream. The vision your mind reaches for when you picture something that isn't there yet.
One word, many tongues
From Kurdistan to Southeast Asia, it travelled with traders, poets and pilgrims, and kept its meaning the whole way - imagination, in language after language.
