Aliyy is a direct Quranic name for boys that means “high”, “exalted”, “superb”, “sublime”. The word Aliyy is used in many places in the Quran and it forms one of the names of Allah when it is prefixed with an al, as in al-Aliyy. It is a common name among Muslims out of love for Aliyy bin Abi Talib, cousin of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah upon him and his family and companions.
