God of my people or beloved
Amiah is a modern name with debated roots. It is often considered a variant of the Hebrew name Amiya, meaning 'God of my people', or a creative elaboration of the Latin-derived Amy, meaning 'beloved'. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a soft, melodic sound.
