A modern feminine name that has risen in popularity across Scotland in recent decades, Amiyah is generally considered a variant of Amaya. Its roots are multiple, with the most commonly cited meaning for English speakers being 'beloved' from the Latin Amata, while in Japanese Amaya can signify 'night rain'. The name also connects to the medieval Spanish village of Amaya in Castile and León, lending it a geographical heritage. Without widely known historical bearers, Amiyah’s fresh, melodic appeal has made it a popular choice in modern Scottish baby naming. A notable variant is Amya, and the name shares its 'beloved' etymology with Amy, a classic Scottish favourite.
