Diya is associated with the meaning “Light, lamp, or radiant glow” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Diya comes from Arabic and Sanskrit, two of the world's oldest literary languages. In Arabic, it means "light" or "radiance." In Sanskrit, it carries a nearly identical meaning, also referring to light or a lamp. The word is directly connected to the small oil lamps used in South Asian religious traditions, making it both a name and a symbol.
