Amyah is in Origin.

Amyah is a modern feminine given name in English-speaking countries, chiefly the United States, rising in the 2000s alongside Amiyah and Amaya. The spelling suggests an elaboration of Amy with the fashionable -ah ending, as well as a streamlined variant of Amiyah. Usage remains uncommon but steady in recent years.

Multiple etymological pathways inform its meaning: from Amy (from Old French Aimée, ultimately Latin amatus), it carries “beloved” or “dearly loved”; via Amaya (a Basque toponym), senses such as “the end; mother city” or possibly “high place” are cited; in Japanese, Amaya can read “rainy night”; and from Sanskrit Amiya, “sweetness; nectar” is attested. Variants include Amiyah, Amaya, Amiya, Amya, and Amiah; related forms are Amy and Maya, with Mia or Amy as familiar nicknames.
