Aliya Origin and Meaning
The name Aliya is a girl's name of Arabic origin meaning "to rise".
Simpler and less tied to the singer in this form, Aliya is a feminine form of the Arabic name Ali, meaning "lofty, sublime, high" or "exalted." Boosted to fame by the ill-fated singer, Aaliyah, and used across the Middle East, the US and the UK, Aliya is a powerful and pretty choice with a concise spelling.
It could also be linked to the Hebrew word "alah" meaning "to rise" or "to ascend" and refers to the migration of Jews to Israel.
Do you prefer this sleeker spelling to the higher ranking Aaliyah? You might also enjoy Alia or Alya.
