Meaning & Origin

allée, a lane bordered by trees

Aleia is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Aliya or Aaliyah, from the Arabic ali meaning "exalted," "sublime," or "high." The distinctive spelling gives this beloved name a French-influenced visual elegance.

Aleia has a flowing, three-syllable beauty that combines the beloved Aaliyah sound with a more restrained, elegant written form. It has grown in the United States as a melodic name that feels simultaneously familiar and distinctive — a gentle alternative within the large Aaliyah family of names.
