Where did her middle name, Aaliyah come from? It appears to be a mockery of the Hebrew word aliyah אליה, meaning to go up, which refers to diaspora Jews who return to our ancestral homeland or to the honor of being called up to read from the Torah or say a blessing prior. ~2025-38786-28 (talk) 05:46, 6 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
