Aaliya

Aaliya is a girl’s name of Arabic origin and means “rising,” “exalted,” “high-status,” and “sublime,” making this one-of-a-kind title a true gem. Hip-hop and R&B fans will know this sweet name already because of the late “Princess of R&B” and “Queen of Urban Pop” Aaliyah, a famous singer-songwriter from the late 90s and early noughties. But regardless of its contemporary affiliations to music, Aaliya is an ancient and beautiful name that connotes images of royalty and magnificence and should be added to your baby name shortlist ASAP.
