Behiye is Turkish in Origin.
Behiye is a Turkish feminine given name of Arabic origin, from Bahiyya (بهية), built on the root b-h-y linked to baha' meaning "splendor, beauty." It conveys "radiant," "beautiful," and "splendid," and parallels the masculine Bahi. The form entered Ottoman Turkish as Arabic feminine -iyya became Turkish -iye.
Attested in Ottoman records and common in the early Turkish Republic, Behiye has become rarer in recent decades. A noted bearer is the Turkish classical singer Behiye Aksoy (1933–2015). Variants and spellings include Bahiyya and Bahiya (Arabic), Bahia (used in Francophone North Africa), and Behiyye in older Turkish sources. Cognate Turkish names on the same Arabic pattern include Zekiye and Aliye.
