feminine · Arabic origin
Aliyya is an Arabic feminine name derived from the root ʿ-l-w, conveying the meanings of height, elevation, and exaltedness. It is the feminine form of Ali, a name borne by the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, making both forms deeply significant in Islamic tradition. The spelling Aliya is a common simplified variant, and related forms include Aaliyah and Aliye, the latter used in Turkish.
