Aleyah is a spelling variant of Aaliyah and Aliyah, the Arabic name meaning "exalted" or "sublime"; in Hebrew the same name means "ascent" and describes immigration to Israel. The many spellings of this name took off after singer Aaliyah's rise in the 1990s. Aleyah has stayed in a steady band in the United States, from number 2710 in 2000 to a best rank of number 1603 in 2012 and number 1710 in 2025.
