God has answered; nourishment of the Lord
A rare biblical name of Hebrew origin, Vaniah is found in the Old Testament as one of the men who returned from the Babylonian exile. While historically masculine in the Bible, its soft vowel ending has led to modern usage as a feminine name. It carries the spiritual significance of divine response or sustenance.
