Means the Highest, Most Exhalted, the Best. Made more common by the late singer Aaliyah Dana Haughton who is believed to actually lead the name into its meaning.

Ummm, RIIGHT... It's a very popular name in Arab and other Middle Eastern countries (they probably don't even know who Aaliyah is!) It IS of Arabic origin!

Hopefully this name isn't pronounced like a liar.

Well no, it isn't. There's no "R" at the end of Aliyah for a start. And it's normally a-LEE-yah anyway.

This (name) word is also used now as the term to describe a Jewish person immigrating to Israel.

This is going to be my granddaughter's name and I think it is very beautiful and feminine.
