Aleithya is English in Origin.

Aleithya is a modern, rare feminine name drawing on Greek sources. Its nearest linguistic anchor is Aletheia (Greek ἀλήθεια), “truth,” which entered English as Alethea and was adopted in 17th‑century England as a Puritan virtue name. The spelling also recalls Eileithyia (Latinized Ilithyia), the ancient Greek goddess who presided over childbirth, giving Aleithya an added association with safe delivery and protection of mothers and infants.

Usage of Aleithya itself is recent and uncommon, largely a creative respelling or blend that emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Variant forms include Alethea, Alethia, Alithea, Aleithia, and Ilithyia/Eileithyia; short forms Thea and Ali are typical diminutives. Parents who choose Aleithya often cite the combined appeal of virtue (“truth”) and mythic guardianship of birth, making it an evocative yet distinctive choice with deep Hellenic roots.
