It looks like a Western European name. Which is probably appropriate. That Aa- at the beginning of Aaliyah brings me up short every time - looks as if the parents were trying too hard.

Can't say I like it, though. The closest I've ever come to Arlia is a school friend who decided to become Arline to set herself apart from a cousin who was also named Alice, both of them after the same grandma. I think she's gone back to Alice in adult life!
