Tips

usage
利亚 is a common transliteration of the foreign syllable "-lia" / "Leah." It appears as the biblical name Leah (利亚, Jacob's first wife) and as a tail in many country/place names - 索马里 (Somalia), 澳大利亚 (Australia), 利比里亚 (Liberia). On its own it is most often the biblical Leah.
memory
(profit/sharp) + (second/Asia) - both characters here are sound-only; ignore their meanings and read them as the syllables "li-ya."
