Aniyah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “caring”, “affectionate”, “one who consoles others”, “one who helps others”. It is derived from the AIN-W-N root which is used in many places in the Quran.

And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah] (Quran 2:45)

The ref made to surah Al ghashia 5th Ayat is with alif and has different meaning. The Aniyah with ain has a beautiful meaning as given above in this website.

My daughter’s name is Aniyah and she is a very peaceful and kind loving daughter. She’s very helpful, patient, and caring. It’s a beautiful name to name your child.

Please help me, I really want to name my daughter Aniya, But I heard from a Murabbi (mentor) that it means Prisoner. I’ve been searching on google and nothing comes up besides these “indirect” meanings and roots which is not correct. Please help me, Jazakallah.

Responding to commment — “I have named my daughter as Aaniya Anum, but now I came to know that meaning of Aaniya in surah Ghashiyah verse no 5 is not good to name a girl child. Please suggest whether I should change my daughter name or to continue”. In Sarah Gashiya is hamza nūn yā (أ ن ي). Wheres the name here is from ʿayn wāw nūn (ع و ن). like is Surah Fatriah from the verse Iyyaka naAAbudu wa-iyyaka nastaAAeen. NastaAAeen meaning help/assistance. where as in Gashiya āniyatin means boiling. JK.

Sorry to say that but the meanings does not much For example the verse in 2:45 means completely another و استعينوا doesn’t come from aanyah but istaana and the meaning of aaniyah means the boiling hot water in Jahannam And or the plates of jannah Naming your daughter a boiled water or a plate is not a good name that can be given to a person subha Allah
