Lamiya

Meaning of Lamiya

Lamiya dances into the spotlight with a warmth that feels like a sunrise over a fiesta courtyard. Rooted in ancient Arabic soil, her name means “radiant” and “shining,” and she carries that glow all the way to Bosnia and Turkey, where every syllable—lah-MEE-yah—rolls off the tongue like a flamenco swirl. She even pirouettes through U.S. baby lists, vaulting from just a handful of little Lamiyas in the early ’90s to over a dozen bright stars by 2024. When parents whisper her name, it ripples like maracas at a Latin festival, promising laughter, beauty and a heart full of light.
