ArchivesLiahona
This source is a a wonderful discussion of the etymology of the name Liahona, which is found in the Book of Mormon. This scholar says the name is Hebraic and literally means "To the YHWH is the wither" http://publications.maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publications/jbms/16/2/S00010-510c4668a6d2d6Liahona-Cur.pdf
Originally, the name was used for a divine compass, that worked not only on the physical plain but the spiritual. I believe the sound of this word is so melodic, it would make a wonderful girl's name. If a nickname were desirable, Lia would be a cute shortcut.
