Aliyah carries two beautiful strands of meaning. In Hebrew it comes from a root meaning to ascend or rise; the word aliyah describes the journey of return to the land of Israel, giving the name a sense of homecoming and elevation.
In Arabic, Aliyah is the feminine of Ali, meaning exalted, high or sublime — again a name of heights and honour.
Melodic and widely loved, it is spelled in many ways — Aliyah, Aaliyah, Aliya — and suits a girl with something to aspire to.
Aliyah does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Aliyah reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
