High, exalted, or sublime
Aalyah is a variant of the Arabic name Aliyah, which signifies high social standing or spiritual exaltation. It shares the same roots as the Hebrew name Aliyah, which refers to 'ascending' or 'going up.' This specific spelling is a modern phonetic variation that emphasizes the long 'a' sound.
