Highly exalted or sublime
Alahia is a modern variation likely derived from the Arabic name Aliyah or Aliyya, meaning 'exalted' or 'sublime.' It may also be influenced by the Hawaiian name Lani, meaning 'heavenly.' As a rare choice, it offers a melodic and contemporary sound while retaining roots in ancient linguistic traditions.
