Ait Bouyahia is a village located in the commune of Aṭ Dwala, in the Wilaya of Tizi-Wezzu, Algeria. This village has 8 332 inhabitants.

History
Aṭ Bu Yeḥya is a village (taddart) of the tribe (عرش leɛṛac) of the Aṭ Dwala, and of the confederation (القبائلية taqbilt) of the Aṭ Ɛisi, of the izwawen (زواوة) ethnic group. Its population is entirely morabitic (imrabḍen, المرابطون), this village is precisely known for its school (timɛemmert, مدرسة): Akal Aberkan founded around 1750 at the same time as the village. It is divided into five "idarmen" which also act as districts. One of the most important is that of ; Amsiwen. Ait Bouyahia has 6 mosques as well as 8 different Koranic schools, each belonging to an adrum (tribe), in addition to the zāwiyah which is owned by the whole village.

Etymology
Ayt (or Aït, Aṭ) means in Berber "The descendants of... / the sons of...", in the plural. "Bou" in dialectal Arabic as well as in Kabyle language means "Sons of...", it is the contraction of "Abū" "أبو". (Note, that the suffix "Bou" can also be a simple connection in Berber of "Ait" and "Ou", knowing that in Berber "Ou" means "Son of" too). Yahyâ means "John the Baptist" in Arabic via Islam, and thus in Kabyle too. Thus "Aït Bou Yahia" means: "The descendants of the son of John the Baptist". This is explained because, the founder of the village Jeddi Abd-Allah, is originally from the tribe of Aṭ Yeḥya, in the confederation of Aṭ Mangellat (Ain al-Hammam).
