Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Amiyah

Amiyah is an invented name, probably created from the very popular Aaliyah. So many of these “-iyah” names have recently come into being, such as Aniyah, Jaliyah, Janiyah, Kaliyah, Maliyah, Mariyah, Samiyah, Saniyah, Taliyah, Taniyah and Zaniyah. They are all distinct to the United States and chiefly popular among African-Americans. As made-up names, they tend not to have a specific meaning or etymology. It’s been suggested that Amiyah is loosely connected to the French word “amié” which means ‘beloved’.
