Laniya
Laniya Origin and Meaning
Laniya is a feminine given name that appears to be a modern coinage combining popular phonetic elements. The prefix 'La-' has been common in American naming practices (as in names like Latoya or Layla), while the '-niya' ending evokes names like Aniya or Saniya, which may have connections to Arabic origins meaning 'caring' or 'concerned.' Alternatively, it could be viewed as a variant of names like Alania or Lania. Laniya gained noticeable popularity in the United States primarily in the early 2000s and has continued to be used in the following decades. The name has a melodic quality with its flowing vowel sounds and three-syllable structure. Laniya exemplifies contemporary naming trends that favor distinctive, euphonic names with rhythmic sound patterns and a modern aesthetic appeal.
