Alia Mamdouh (born 1944) is an Iraqi novelist, author, and journalist living in exile in Paris, France. Most Mamdouh's books are about Iraq, though she has lived abroad for decades.
Alia Muhammad Baker (Arabic: عالية محمد باقر; also spelled "Baqer" or "Baqir"; 1952 – 13 August 2021) was an Iraqi librarian who was the chief librarian of the Al Basrah Central Library in Basra. Baker saved an estimated 30,000 books from destruction during the Iraq War, including a biography of Muhammad from around 1300.
Alia Tabbaa (Arabic: عالية الطباع, born 15 September 1964) is the former wife of Prince Faisal bin Hussein. She is currently the president of the Promise Welfare Society. She is also the president of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, and as of 2006 became the president of the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, following Queen Noor of Jordan.
I think that this name is very pretty. I have a lot or Arab and Muslim friends and one of them is name Alia but she goes by Lia or Lialia, pronounced 'lee-a-lee-ah'. Super cute!
I think that this is a beautiful name, especially since I know an awesome person who bears this name, and it sounds prettier than the name "Ala" which bears a similar meaning.
Alia Bhatt is a British film actress and singer who works in Bollywood. Born into the Bhatt family, she is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan. After making her acting debut as a child artist in the 1999 thriller Sangharsh, Bhatt played her first leading role in Karan Johar's romantic drama Student of the Year, which earned her a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
I would pronounce it ALLY-ah, to rhyme with valley, because in my opinion if you want to call your child a-LEE-yah, Aaliyah is a prettier name.

This is my 6 year old cousin's name, and she's so adorable! I love this name. She pronounces it Ah-lee-ah. It's usually spelled Aaliyah, but she spells it differently. :) "ALIA"
I absolutely love this name. I also like the spelling Aliyah, but Alia is really my favorite. It reminds me of a sweet little girl, probably because of six-year-old Alia in the book series The Shadow Children, written by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
I've always assumed that Alia in the Dune books had the Latin rather than the Semitic name: is anyone aware of evidence that her name was in fact a form of Aliyah etc and not a Latin word meaning: Other, or: Different?In view of the fact that the women's college, Bene Gesserit, with its very high standards has a name meaning "She Will Have Done Well", Frank Herbert seemed to enjoy using Latin names.
Alia is the younger sister of Paul Atreides, better know as Muad'dib, from Frank Herbert's Dune books. She was awakened to consciousness in the womb, "pre-born", considered an abomination by the Bene Gesserit.
ALIA is derived from the name AALIYAH. It is more commonly used in Egypt. The meaning is similar to that of AALIYAH meaning "Highest, Most Exhalted" or "to ascend".
Impression: Sheds new light on any dilemma, quietly brave and fiercely loyal, applauds the efforts of others, dramatic in her ways, ponders great issues and finds solutions, a fearless adversary, does not hesitate to get involved, she enhances her looks with a smile.
