History & Origin

Aliaa romanizes the Arabic name Alia/Aliya, feminine of Ali, from the root a-l-w, 'to be high, to rise'. The sense is 'exalted, sublime, of high station' — a name long used across the Arab world and beyond, and borne by Queen Alia of Jordan. The doubled vowel is one of several ways families spell the long ending in English (said 'ah-LEE-ah').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. in this spelling, while Aliya and Aaliyah are far more common. Rare, dignified, and rooted.

Did you know? Aliaa is the feminine of Ali, and both grow from an Arabic root meaning 'to be high' — the same root behind al-Ali, one of the divine names (said 'ah-LEE-ah').
