Aya was an Ancient Egyptian king's wife of the Thirteenth Dynasty (between 1803 and 1649 BCE).
She is known from two sources. Aya appears on a stela now in Würzburg. From this source it is clear that she was part of an influential family of high court officials and was related to the Vizier Ankhu.
She also appears in the Papyrus Boulaq 18. This is an administrative account belonging to the Theban palace of a Thirteenth Dynasty king. It was found in the tomb of the scribe of the great enclosure Neferhotep. The name of the king in this papyrus is only partly preserved. Many scholars read the remains as Sobekhotep II, although other dispute that reading. Other suggestions include King Sehetepkare Intef and King Imyremeshaw. Therefore, there is some doubt over the identification of Aya's husband.

Usage examples of "aya".
That meant a kind of double betrayal, for somewhere, someone was going shorthanded, lacking the troops he needed to keep the peace because the Emperor had decided to abandon them here.
It represented a betrayal so profound and yet so unique to the Empire that he doubted anyone born outside the Empire would ever understand it, or why it made his skin flush with rage.
False sparks sparkled along the snow-white firebird's feathers whenever Aya roused all his feathers and shook them, and in repose in this uncertain half-light, the quills of each feather glowed softly.
Well, that was as much a reflection of his own unsettled emotional state as Aya's peevishness.
Bad enough to be troubled by his own conscience, must he put up with Aya's as well?
Still shouting with anger that had built beyond his ability to control it, he cornered the firebird and prepared to strike Aya where he cowered, every feather shivering.
Strike Aya down, and you'll follow him," Darkwind warned, tapping a rhythm pattern with one foot that Elspeth quickly picked up—a pattern Firesong recognized vaguely from the containment spell they had all worked to confine the power of the rogue Heartstone of k'Sheyna.
The Heartstone isn't mine, An'desha has every right to follow his own path, and—Karal is as innocent as Aya.
Karal was somewhere in the midst of all that—more power than any Heartstone, more power than Firesong had ever seen in his life, power that made Aya shriek and flee into the next room, that was so bright the shaman and Silverfox shouted and hid their eyes.
He wiped at them frantically with his sleeve, as Aya scuttled back into the room and settled against his side, crooning.
Vree doesn't much care for Firesong's bird Aya, and he likes me and Gwena both.
To have that loyalty betrayed so callously was a betrayal of everything the Empire held sacred.
Gossip, flirtations, negotiations, assignations, betrayals, confidences—the highborn, ranked and wealthy, all danced their dances just as they had for years, as their fathers' had, and as their grandfathers had.
Such a betrayal harms you as well as Us, by threatening the security of the Empire.
We would not see Our children distressed by the taint of betrayal mingled with uncertainty.
