Alahia

Alahia is a Spanish variant of the Basque name Alaia, which means "joyful, happy" from the Basque word alai. As a feminine given name, Alahia reflects the adaptation of Basque onomastics into Spanish-speaking cultures, maintaining the semantic essence of happiness while adopting a slightly altered spelling that conforms to Spanish orthographic patterns. This name is relatively rare and is primarily found in Spain and among Spanish-speaking communities. Variants such as Alaya or Alaiya may also exist, but Alahia specifically captures the joyful spirit of its root name.
