Purpose, intent, or bright
Niyah is primarily derived from the Arabic word 'niyyah', which refers to the Islamic concept of intention in one's heart to do an act for the sake of God. It is also frequently used as a modern rhythmic variation of names like Nia or Aaliyah. In some contexts, it is associated with Swahili origins meaning 'purpose'.
