Neliah
Meaning of Neliah
Neliah feels like a secret melody discovered at dawn, bright and bursting with promise. It blends the gentle strength of Greek “Nelia” (from Latin Cornelia, meaning “horn”) with the uplifting Hebrew ending “-iah” (“God answers”), whispering of resilience and hope. Pronounced neh-LY-uh, its three syllables dance lightly like sunbeams on water, each one heralding a fresh start. Though Neliah remains a rare gem—just eight American newborns received it in 2023, ranking it near #950—its lyrical charm and inspiring roots make it a radiant pick for families craving a name that’s both grounded in tradition and sparkling with originality.
