Meaning and origin of Hiddayah
Hiddayah is a rarer way of writing Hidayah. It goes back to the Arabic hidāya, guidance, built on the root h-d-y, to guide. The doubled d is not found in the Arabic, which has a single d; for that reason most families prefer Hidaya or Hidayah. Whatever the spelling, the meaning stays the same: the guidance God gives toward faith and good conduct.
