Immortal or eternal; a variation of Khalia
Khalayah is a modern American coinage, likely blending the Arabic root 'kh-l-d' (meaning eternal or immortal) with the popular 'ayah' suffix. It is often viewed as a more elaborate variation of names like Khalia or Kaylah. While its specific etymology is contemporary, it carries a sense of spiritual longevity and grace.
