Jaiyah

Jaiyah is a contemporary feminine name that appears to be a modern creation, likely emerging in the early 21st century. It may be a variation of names like Jaya (Sanskrit for "victory") or a creative spelling of names like Kaiah or Jaiah.

Its distinctive spelling and contemporary sound appeal to parents seeking a unique yet accessible name with a modern feel and potentially spiritual undertones.
