Enduring, beloved, or night rain
Amiaya is a modern American creation likely blending the Japanese name Ami, meaning 'friend' or 'beautiful', with the popular name Amaya, which can mean 'night rain' in Japanese or 'the end' in Basque. It is often chosen for its melodic, multi-cultural sound and its connection to nature and affection. Due to its modern nature, it lacks a singular ancient etymology.
