Aaliyah
When
considering Aaliyah's track record, it's befitting that her name means "The
highest, most exalted one, the best." Her parents, Diane and Michael, decided
on the name based on the high hopes and expectations they would have if they had
a daughter. Her success as both a recording artist and actress actually makes
the name of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Aaliyah made her dreams come true. At
22, she not only had a very successful recording career but also established herself
as a motion picture actress and an accomplished business woman.
