Amadyah is in Origin.

Amadyah is a rare, modern theophoric name formed on Hebrew patterns, combining the Hebrew root amad “to stand, endure” with the element -yah, a short form of the divine name Yahweh. It is typically interpreted as “Yah stands,” “upheld by God,” or “God is steadfast,” echoing the sense of divine support and constancy found in many -iah/-yah names.

Though not attested in the Bible, Amadyah follows the morphology of names like Obadiah or Amariah and appears in recent Anglophone use, especially among parents drawing on biblical style with creative coinage. Variants include Amadiah, Amadia, Amadya, and Amadiyah; nicknames may be Ama, Madi, or Dayah. It should not be confused with the Arabic-rooted Ahmadiyya (an Islamic movement) or with Latin Amadea/Amadeus. Related Hebrew options with clearer historical usage are Amariah (“Yah has said”) and Ovadiah/Obadiah (“servant of Yah”).
