Niyyah
Meaning of Niyyah
Niyyah is a beautiful and meaningful name of Arabic origin, typically given to girls. Pronounced as nee-YAH (/niˈjɑ/), the name carries a deep significance in Islamic culture, where it represents "intention" or "purpose." This spiritual connotation makes Niyyah a powerful choice for parents who wish to impart a sense of direction and mindfulness to their child. An alternative spelling, Nia, offers a simpler variation while retaining the name's essence. Though relatively rare in the United States, with only six occurrences each in 2022 and 2019, Niyyah's uniqueness adds to its charm.
