Myah

Myah is an alternative spelling of Maya that often makes the intended English my-ah sound especially clear. Maya itself has several independent histories. In Sanskrit, māyā refers to illusion or appearance and has important philosophical uses; in other settings, Maya can be associated with names from entirely different language families.

The added h does not establish a new ancient root or combine all the meanings attributed to Maya. For a family choosing Myah as a spelling of that name, the relevant tradition is the one they intend to preserve. The written form is short and visually distinct from Mia, which many English readers pronounce differently. Maya is the closest spelling comparison when considering meaning and family connection.
