Roiyah is Arabic, Persian in Origin.

Roiyah is a modern feminine given name with layered Middle Eastern roots. It fuses the Persian Roya and the Arabic Ru’ya - both denoting “dream” or “vision” - and resonates with the Hebrew re’iyah, “sight” or “seeing.” Because dreams and visions hold spiritual weight in Islamic and biblical traditions, the name carries connotations of insight, revelation, and hopeful aspiration.

Variants and cognates include Roya (Persian), Rūyā/Rūya or Rüya (Persian/Turkish), Ru’ya or Ruya (Arabic), Ro’ya, Roeya, Roiya, and Royah. Usage is well established in Iran and the Iranian diaspora from the 20th century onward, while Rüya is familiar in Turkey. Roiyah itself appears primarily in English-speaking contexts as a contemporary, embellished spelling that echoes popular -iyah endings. Note that Rawiya/Rawiyah, an Arabic name meaning “narrator; water-bearer,” is etymologically distinct, though sometimes confused with this family of “vision/dream” names.
