Victory or bird
Jayah is a modern variant likely derived from the Sanskrit name Jaya, meaning victory, or as a creative elaboration of the name Jay, which can refer to the bird. It is often chosen for its phonetic similarity to names like Maya and Layla. In some contexts, it is also viewed as a variation of the Hebrew name Jiah.
