Maliah
Meaning of Maliah
Maliah breezes in like a salsa trumpet at dusk and refuses to be ignored. She springs from the Hawaiian form of María, meaning “beloved,” so every syllable beats with cariño. Picture her: a barefoot island heroine, laughing with the waves by day, twirling maracas in a city plaza by night. U.S. parents felt that rhythm in the early 2000s—helped by a certain First Daughter spelled with one less letter—and the name has danced around the charts ever since, bright as a piñata against a gray sky. Maliah promises warm sand, steady heart, and fiesta-ready spirit, perfect for a niña destined to surf through life with a grin as wide as the Pacific.
