What is the meaning of the name Deiyah ?

The baby name Deiyah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced DAY-uh (ˈdeɪə),DEE-yah (ˈdiːjə).

Deiyah is Hindi in Origin.

Deiyah is a modern feminine given name with layered, cross-cultural roots. Its most common interpretation links it to Arabic Diya’ (Diya), meaning "light" or "radiance," and to the South Asian name Diya/Deeya, "lamp," from Sanskrit dipa/deepa. Together these associations center the image of illumination. The spelling also echoes the biblical Hebrew Deaiah (often rendered Deiah), from de'ah "knowledge" + the divine element -yah, yielding "knowledge of God," an alternative etymology some families embrace.

Use of Deiyah is recent, emerging in English-speaking contexts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as a distinctive, phonetic elaboration of Diya. It is favored for its luminous meaning, gentle sound, and unique look. Variants and cognates include Diya, Deeya, Deya, Dia, Diah, Diyaah, and Deiah/Deaiah; related names with a similar sense are Ziya/Zia and Noor/Nur.
