יה As Source

The question was asked to me from a young boy oleh from South America (~12 yrs old) , why in Hebrew (as well as Spanish he says) alot of store-type names end in יה (-ia), as in פיצריה, מאפיה,קצביה, ?

It came to me that all things that are the source of the item's creation are given the "-יה" ending.

כי ביה יהוה צור עולמים

I love Israel. בני ציון היקרים המסולאים בפז
