I haven't met a single one, and I live near a major city. Maybe it's regional...?

I've met a few. It's fairly common in the black community.

I've met lots, it's common with Black and Arab families or any families who practice Islam.

I saw the name Aaliyah on a class roster once and was expecting her to be black, but when I met her she was very white. (For some reason I would have expected one of the shorter versions on a white kid. Like Aliya)

I have a friend named Aaliyah, she's black. I think it's a really pretty name.

Yes, it's quite popular in various spellings, and has been for years. Especially with Black families but not exclusively.

Yes. I knew an Alia who was born in the late 1970s.
