Asyah is a feminine name that will give baby lots of meanings to ponder and consider. As a possible variant of Asia, Asyah may derive from the Greek title Anastasios, meaning “resurrection,” so if you wish to share your faith with baby, this name could be a lovely way to start that journey. Asyah and Asia could also have roots in the Akkadian word asu, which means “rise,” giving these names the meaning “eastern sunrise.” This translation is particularly fitting as Asia is believed to mean “east,” referring to the world’s largest continent located to the east of Europe. If baby Asyah is a deep thinker in the making, they’ll love their name’s Arabic meaning “wistful” or “pensive.” Asyah can also translate to “melancholic” in Arabic, though with all the light and joy that baby exudes; there’ll be no room for gloom!
