Kiah
Meaning of Kiah
As a female given name, Kiah, pronounced KY-uh (/kaɪˈɑ/), draws on diverse origins—most notably an Aboriginal Australian word meaning “from the beautiful place” and a Hebrew toponym linked to the ancient city of Keilah. Its crisp, two-syllable form aligns easily with Spanish phonetics, giving it particular resonance in Latin American communities and a broader multicultural appeal. Though still relatively uncommon in the United States, Kiah has registered a modest rise in recent years, climbing to rank 894 in 2024 with 56 recorded births (up from 43 in 2023). This steady upward trend underscores a growing preference for names that combine global heritage, clear pronunciation and contemporary style.
