God has answered me
Oniya is a rare name often considered a variant of the Hebrew name Aniah or Aniya. It carries the spiritual significance of a prayer being heard or answered by the divine. In some contexts, it is also associated with African linguistic roots, though its most common usage in the West follows the phonetic patterns of modern Hebrew-inspired names.
