Amiah is in Origin.

Amiah is a modern given name used mostly in the English-speaking world. Linguistically, it functions as a respelling of Amia/Amiya and as a streamlined variant of Amaya. Through Amy (from Old French Aimée < Latin amatus), it inherits the sense “beloved” or “dearly loved.” Via South Asian Amiya (from Sanskrit amiya), it can also carry the meaning “sweet, delightful; nectar.” If linked to the Basque place-name Amaya, some interpret it as “the end” or “culmination.” Pronunciation typically follows uh-MY-uh or uh-MEE-uh. Documented in U.S. name data since the late twentieth century, Amiah gained visibility in the 2000s amid the rise of -iah endings. Usage remains modest but stable, with appeal as a gentle, contemporary alternative to Amy, Mia, or Amaya. Variants and related forms include Amia, Amiya, Amiyah, Amyah, Amya, Amaya, and Ameya.
