Ghalia
Ghalia is a feminine given name of Arabic origin. It is used in Arabic-speaking countries and throughout Muslim communities worldwide, and it may be spelled Ghaliya, Ghaliyah, Ghalia, or Ghaleya depending on transliteration. The name is derived from the Arabic root gh-l-y, which underlies words meaning valuable, precious, or expensive. The masculine adjective ghālī means expensive or dear, while the feminine form ghaliyah carries the sense of preciousness; as a given name, Ghalia therefore conveys connotations of worth and cherished qualities.
As a given name, Ghalia is often chosen to express affection, esteem, or a sense of value.
Variations in spelling reflect differences in transliteration from Arabic to Latin script and regional pronunciation. In
