Khaya

Meaning of Khaya

Imagine Khaya as a sunlit casita in the heart of the savanna. This Zulu gem literally means “home” and wraps little hearts in a sweet abrazo of belonging. It is pronounced KHAY-ah in Africa and KY-uh in the U.S. It skips off the tongue like maracas at a Latin fiesta. It is still a hidden treasure here. Only five little Khayas joined the party in 2023 at rank 945. Every Khaya carries a compass of comfort and adventure. A name for the corazón, Khaya radiates warmth and poetic flair, ready to cradle a daughter in a lifetime of stories.
