Tiyah is in Origin.
Tiyah is a modern feminine given name in English-speaking contexts, generally viewed as an embellished spelling of Tia/Tiya. Tia has two chief sources: a clipped form of names ending in -tia - especially Letitia/Laetitia (“joy, happiness”) and Tatiana (from the Roman family name Tatius) - and the Spanish/Portuguese word tía “aunt,” later adopted as a given name. In South Asia, Tiya (Bengali টিয়া) denotes a parrot or small bird, so Tiyah can carry the evocative sense of “bird/parrot,” while the -yah ending reflects contemporary stylistic taste.
Usage appears chiefly from the late 20th century onward in the U.S., UK, and Australia, where it remains uncommon but familiar-sounding. Variants and related forms include Tia, Tiah, and Tiya; longer roots are Letitia/Laetitia and Tatiana, with similar choices like Taya and Nia. Pronunciation is typically TEE-yuh, though regional preferences may vary.
