Meaning of Ziya
Ziya means “source of light”, “radiance”, something that shines brilliantly and lightens up the area around it. It is mentioned three times in the Quran:
It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases – that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know {10:5}

Where are the other two times it is mentioned in the Quran? Also, this isn’t pronounced Ziya. Its pronounced Diya.

The Ziyaa’ — Diyaa’ phenomenon is just a variant pronunciation. Non-Arabs may pronounce ض as Z, while Arabs transliterate it as D.
