Beloved, dear, or loved one
Priyah is a variant of the Sanskrit name Priya, which translates to 'beloved' or 'dear.' In Hindu tradition, it is often used to denote someone who is cherished or highly valued. While the spelling with an 'h' is less common in the West, it adds a modern, phonetic flair to the traditional root.
