Goldiah is a modern feminine given name formed from English gold/Goldie or Yiddish Golde/Golda + the Hebrew theophoric suffix -iah (-yah), evoking “Yah(weh).” The blended sense suggests “golden of God,” “God’s gold,” or simply “golden; precious.” It carries associations of brightness, worth, and blessing.

Though not found in classical Hebrew or medieval records, the -iah ending lends a biblical cadence; the base element appears in Ashkenazi names Golde/Golda and in the English nickname Goldie. The spelling Goldia appears in early 20th‑century U.S. data, while Goldiah remains extremely rare and contemporary. Variants and related forms include Goldia, Goldya/Goldiya, Golde, Golda, and Goldie; elaborations such as Goldiana or Goldiahna occur occasionally. Short forms: Goldie, Gola, Dia. Usable across faiths, the name suits parents seeking a luminous, tradition‑tinted invention with easy pronunciation.
