Alithiah is English, Greek, Hebrew in Origin.

Alithiah is a modern English elaboration of Alethea/Alithea, names ultimately from the ancient Greek noun aletheia, meaning "truth." In early modern England, Alethea gained currency among humanists and virtue-name-loving families, with steady but modest use thereafter; the aristocrat Alethea Talbot, Countess of Arundel, kept the spelling visible in the 17th century. Alithiah preserves the same meaning while adopting an -iah ending that echoes contemporary tastes.

Because Alithiah is chiefly a creative spelling, historical records are sparse, and its use today is rare across English-speaking countries. Related forms include Alethea, Alethia, Alithea, and Alithia; short forms and nicknames include Ali, Thea, and Thia. Though the -iah ending may suggest a Hebrew origin to some, Alithiah is not etymologically Semitic and does not contain the divine element -yah; its sense remains "truth," often interpreted as sincerity or honesty. Variant spellings can be interchanged without changing pronunciation: uh-lih-THEE-uh.
