Clear, bright, or beloved
Kaleiah is a modern American coinage likely blending the Hawaiian name Kalei, meaning 'the flower wreath' or 'the beloved,' with the popular 'iah' suffix. It may also be interpreted as a variant of the Arabic name Kaliya, meaning 'clear' or 'pure.' Its usage is contemporary and reflects a trend toward melodic, vowel-heavy names.
