One of the first names that appear when searching for female Swahili names is Aaliyah. One of the first things that comes to mind when thinking of the late Aaliyah Dana Haughton is greatness. Thus the definition of her name, which is this post's title, makes perfect sense.
*Aaliyah was a rising star. Although she delivered hit after hit while she was with us, she had potential to deliver much more. Her life was claimed in a disastrous plane crash on August 25, 2001; She was only 22 years old and she barely blossomed.
*It's been ten years since we lost one of the most beautiful and talented young women that the music industry has ever seen. Aaliyah's voice and charisma was just enough to capture the hearts of millions of fans, not to mention her on screen presence and her dance moves.
*Almost always seen with what I like to call a "side swoop bang", Aaliyah was a trend setter and inspiration to many boys and girls alike. Although I was only 8 when she passed away, I was old enough to emulate her moves while my sisters tried to emulate her style of dress.
Ms. Haughton did not reach the peak of her potential, but she did leave a mark on the lives of many people. I could only imagine what Aaliyah would be taking on if only she lived today.
