Alaa

Alaa is an Arabic given name derived from the root meaning glory, excellence, or sublimity, related to the concept of high rank or lofty status. It is used across the Arab world for both males and females, making it one of the relatively rare gender-neutral Arabic names. The name shares its root with the classical Arabic word ala, meaning height or elevation, and is closely connected to the name Ala as well as compound forms such as Alaa ud-Din, meaning glory of the faith.
