To live or greeting
Tahya is a name of Arabic origin that can be interpreted as a form of the word meaning 'to live' or as a greeting/salutation. It shares a root with the common Arabic greeting 'Tahiyat' and is related to the name Yahya. In some contexts, it is also viewed as a variant of the Hebrew name Chaya, which similarly means 'life'.
