Alifiyah (الفِيَّة) is an Arabic name derived from Alif (ألف), the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. Alif symbolizes oneness, unity, and uprightness, and is often associated with clarity, balance, and divine oneness. Linguistically, Alifiyah carries the sense of being aligned with Alif, reflecting purity of origin and straightness in form and meaning.
The name also connects deeply with the concept of Alifiyah Qāmah (قامة ألفية ), which refers to an upright, straight posture—a physical trait unique to human beings. Unlike animals, humans stand fully erect, and this posture symbolizes consciousness, dignity, and self-awareness. Thus, Alifiyah reflects the true essence of being human, representing moral uprightness, inner balance, and awareness of one’s self and purpose.
