Amiah is a modern name that emerged as a creative spelling of Amaya or a variant of the biblical name Amiah, meaning "God is my people" in Hebrew, drawing from "am" (people) and "Yah" (God). In some traditions, it also connects to the Latin "amare," meaning "to love," giving it a softer, romantic edge. Though relatively new to Scottish records, it shares roots with the more established Amiya and Amaia, popular in Spanish and Basque cultures. Notably, the name Amiah gained attention through Amiah Miller, an American actress known for her role in *War for the Planet of the Apes*, bringing a touch of modern celebrity to this gentle, melodic choice.
