Uncertain; possibly a modern variation of Nala or Aleya.
Naleya is a modern American coinage with no singular established etymology. It likely functions as a melodic blend of the African name Nala, meaning 'successful' or 'beloved', and the Arabic name Aleya, meaning 'high' or 'exalted'. Its usage is contemporary and reflects the trend of creating soft, vowel-heavy names.
