Modern invention, possibly meaning ascent or high
Jalyah is a modern American creation likely formed by blending the popular prefix 'Ja-' with the name Aliyah. If following the Hebrew roots of Aliyah, it carries the meaning of ascending or going up. It is part of a trend of lyrical, multi-syllabic names ending in the 'yah' sound.
