Dhiyya is variant of Ziya and has the exact same meaning and pronunciation (see below for full meaning). You can use either Dhiyya or Ziya, both are correct and acceptable. If you like this variant more and you'd like to pronounce it the way it is spelled (different than the original name), this is perfectly acceptable. For more details please see the main entry at: Ziya.

Full Meaning of Dhiyya

Dhiyya 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}
