I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think that this name, Alya, might be related to the Arabic names Ali, Aliya/Aliyah/Aliyya/Aliyya, Aali, and Aaliyah. They all look very similar, and have the meaning of "sky, heaven, sublime, high, lofty/loftiness". :D.

What a beautiful name! I love the meaning 'heaven' and the spelling on its own, but being a Miraculous Ladybug fan, I love the association with Ladybug's best friend. Lovely!

It is also a Slavic name. The name Alya (Аля) comes from the word "alyy" ("алый", in English - "scarlet"), "scarlet" is a synonym for "beautiful" in Slavic culture. That's why the name Alya has 2 meanings in Slavic languages - scarlet and beautiful. Commonly used as a short form for girl names starting with "Al..." (e.g. Alexandra, Alevtina, Albina, Alina, Alisa, Alesya, Alyona, etc.). Pronounced with an accent on the first "A" (AL-yuh). [noted -ed]

We named our daughter Alya, but in our case she is named after a central character in the Dune series of novels. Frank Herbert used the alternate spelling Alia, but we chose to go with the more Slavic Alya, as her grandmother is Ukrainian and we thought it was a nice tribute to her heritage.

I think I prefer this name to Aaliyah. It is simple and to the point yet tough.

A friend of mine (she's from Syria) is named Alyah and she pronounces her name AL-e-uh. I think her name is very pretty.

Alya seems like a pretty name. I like it pronounced Al-ya or Al-i-ya.

For native English speakers this name can be difficult to pronounce; most people will get it completely wrong. In my family it is alternately pronounced 'al-ya', 'a-li-a', or 'a-li-ya'. Unfortunately many people who read the name will get it wrong (I've been referred to as ala and many other very obviously incorrect pronunciations.), and many will simply use a common English name instead (being referred to as Alice is quite offensive).
