Answer of God
Amaiah is a rare name likely derived from the Hebrew name Amaiah or Amayah, meaning 'answer of God.' It shares linguistic roots with other 'Am' names in Hebrew, such as Amariah, which means 'promised by God.' While it is a modern-sounding choice in the United States, it carries a sense of ancient spiritual depth.
