My daughters name is Aliyah and I didn't even know that it had anything to do with Muslim but even if I did I wouldn't changed it I love her name and so does she!!
Well.. my name is of Islam which means kind and I am not muslim..
It's not Muslim, it's Jewish. It simply means a journey to Israel. I think it's a lovely name, but if its religious connotations bother you, you should alter the spelling like mashamaria suggested: Aaliyah, Aliah, Alia. Aliya...
Write it withput "h" at the end. So it will not be Muslim. But still sound the same. Nice name by the way.
I think the name you give her has meaning because you chose it. It has meaning because you love your daughter. Who cares what the internet says.
