“Mahal” also means love in Filipino, which is why I love Mahalia. There would be a different pronunciation there, more like muh-HALL-yuh, like the Taj Mahal.
My name comes from 2 great grandmothers. Both were native American and the name means wise woman.
"Mahal" in Bahasa Indonesian means "expensive". In India, the Taj Mahal's name means "Crown Palace" -- taj = crown + mahal = palace.
The name Mahalia was used in some of the Southern European ancient civilisations. It means 'cook'.
Mahalia is Hebrew and means Affection.
