High, sublime, or exalted
Aaliyan is a variant of the Arabic name Aliyan, which is derived from the root 'A-L-Y' meaning height or loftiness. It carries the connotation of someone who is spiritually or socially elevated. While traditionally more common in masculine forms, it is increasingly used as a gender-neutral choice in modern contexts.
