Joyful, happy, or sublime
Alaiia is a modern variation of the Arabic name Alaia, which signifies joy and happiness. It is also associated with the Basque word for 'joyful' and can sometimes be linked to the Hebrew name Aliyah, meaning 'to ascend' or 'sublime'. The double 'i' spelling is a contemporary stylistic choice that adds a unique visual flair.
