The answer

The word (آلاء) with an extended hamza means blessings, and it has appeared in the Holy Qur’an with this meaning. It is a beautiful name, and there is no objection to naming a newborn girl with it, because the basic principle regarding names is permissibility, unless they include a sharia-forbidden element or an ugly meaning.
