Aliyah 2

First, this name is commonly pronounced a-lee-yah. I have heard a few meanings for this name: "exalted," "immigration to Israel," and "Return to Yah (return to the Lord. Return to Yahweh)." It is a beautiful, feminine name that has become quite popular, but is still unique and elegant.

This is the same root name as the High-Priest ELI, who was the foster father to the prophet, SAMUEL.

This (name) word is also used now as the term to describe a Jewish person immigrating to Israel.
