Meaning of Alaya

Alaya is an indirect Quranic name for boys and girls that means “greatness”, “highness”, “sublimity”. Arabs mostly use it for boys, while in other cultures it is used for girls as well. It is derived from the AIN-L-A root which is used in many places in the Quran.

We granted them Our mercy and bestowed on them true and high renown. (Quran 19:50)
