2) an onamonapia word; used to make your presence known to a group of people. Or in some cases, it can be used to verbally assault someone.

Anyone with this name is surely unique! It's most likely a girl and they tend to be born a Scorpio. If so, double points. These people are very kind, fun-loving, and a secret freak in the sheets. Any Nyala you meet will have a different sense of style but you'll learn to love it. Beware of getting on a Nyala's bad side though, they can hold a grudge forever. Otherwise, these people are really devoted to any friend, family member, or lover.
