Ziyah is a spelling of the Arabic Ziya, which means "light" or "splendor" and is a variant of Diya; in Turkish it is a classic boys' name, while American parents use it mostly for girls. The added h gives it the look of Aaliyah and Zariyah. Ziyah is rare in the United States: it rose from number 3089 in 2015 to a peak of number 2089 in 2019 and ranks number 2777 in 2025.
