Considering that it is the title track from "Layla and Assorted Love Songs" that Eric Clapton wrote to proclaim his love for Patti Harrison (the wife of his friend, recording partner & Beatle ... George Harrison) ..... I think we can assume Eric meant it to be a woman's name. ;-) At least one other song on that album (Bell Bottom Blues) was an ode to Patti.
After Patti left George and married Eric (George attended the wedding, those crazy rock stars!) .... Eric wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for her.
