High, exalted, or sublime
In Arabic, the name is a feminine form of Ali, signifying high social standing or spiritual excellence. It also appears in Germanic traditions as a variation of names containing the element 'ali', meaning 'other' or 'foreign'. In modern usage, it is often appreciated for its cross-cultural appeal and soft, vowel-heavy sound.
