Name meaning and origin
Alya derives from a root in the Arabic language meaning to be high; from the same root also come Al-Aliyy (one of the beautiful names of Allah, the Most High) and the name Ali. The word carries the meanings of both sky and height, and it is regarded as a modern, shortened pronunciation form of the name Aliya, long used in Turkish.
Beginning to spread as a personal name in Turkey after the 2000s, Alya grew rapidly in popularity from 2015 and reached Azerbaijan among modern girl names. Because its root is connected to one of the names of Allah, it is well received in meaning, although the name Alya itself does not appear separately in the Quran.
