Aaliyah (given name)

Aaliyah is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, meaning "high, exalted, sublime," or "highest social standing." It is a popular name in many parts of the world, particularly in Muslim communities and in the United States.

The name gained wider recognition in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, partly due to the fame of American singer Aaliyah Haughton. Variations in spelling exist, including Alia, Aleah, and Aliya.
