Miracle, sign, or marvelous
Iyah is a variant of the Arabic name Ayah, which refers to a sign or miracle of God. In a broader context, it is often associated with verses of the Quran. It has gained some traction as a modern, phonetic spelling that feels fresh and accessible in English-speaking countries.
About 15 girls were named Iyah in 2025.
