Kaiya meaning

I love the name. I plan on naming my child this if it is a girl. I am due in November 2018.

My name is Kiaya. Like Ky-uh. My parents derived it from Gaelic origins. It basically means crashing waters. Kaya is my Cherokee name, it means my elder'sister. Almost 100% of people mispronounce my name. It gets annoying, but I love my Irish and Cherokee origins.

My 8 year old daughter's name is Kaiya (KY-YAH) Rayne. We love the name! Though at times people do question the pronunciation, we constantly get compliments on her name. She is beautiful and it fits her perfectly. I thought we made up the unique spelling, but apparently It's more popular than I thought. We have met a Kiya and Kiah, but never the'same spelling as we have.

We are due April25th if its a boy his name will be Easton Tate EVERYONE loves it!! There is no other name for us we are stuck on that one.

Thats my name I love teache's often butcher it and I get KIA alot but i love it

well i think it would be really weird to be named queen!

Kaiya is our beautiful baby girl's name'she is now 8 months old. I LOVED it ever'since the first time I watched Willow Her name is Kaiya Jade I wanted to spell it the'same way that Kaiya Lovegood (Willow's wife did in the movie) since that is where I got it from people here (Kentucky) KILL ME with not knowing how to say it they call her KAY-A A LOT!!! But, I love the name It's beautiful and it fits my BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL! <3

My name is also Kaiya but spelled.. Caiya. Pronounced ky-ah. I was not named after anyone. It was a last minute decision. My father took 3 days of me laying in the hospital until he yelled Caiya! So im named Caiya Corinn. :) i like itt.

I also named my daughter Kaiya after the movie Willow. It is a beautiful name and everyone loves her name. The names also fits my daughter as I cannot imagine her with any other name.

my name is kaiya n it is special cause it is my birth name

my name is Kaiya and i was named after Willow's wife as well. i've always had trouble with my name - teache's and strangers constantly mispronouncing it and misspelling it (i've gotten'to the point where i give my middle name, Amelia, for restaurant lists). when i was young i hated it because of the trouble it gave me, but now i see the beauty in it and how unique it makes me. i love the'spelling and wouldn't change my name for the world.

my name was also from the movie willow. my parents named me after it. seems as is i have alot in common with the other kiayas in the world

My name is Kaiya Rae and I think It's awesome because I have met no one else with my name. I found out It's a very popular Japanese name!

im not understanding how this name is prounounced is it like (Ki-Yah)

Kaiya is my 2nd daughter's name and I love it!!! It was unique when I first heard the name (spelled Kaya) but after naming my daughter my husband and I found out it wasn't as unique as we thought (a lot of kids with that name'suddenly appeared). I decided to add an "I" to her name but I find that depending on how you spell the name, it may have a different meaning coming from a different country. "Kaiya" is suppose to be Japanese meaning forgiveness. There is also "Kaya" that is Native American. I has seen so many different spellings of the name!!!

This is my 19 month old daughters' name and It's PERFECT for her! She is spunky, full of energy, absolutely adorable and affectionate. I LOVE It'so much! We're expecting another girl now, and I have NO idea what to name her to follow this perfect girl's name.

i've seen It'spelt as Caiya, not sure if it has same meaning then❤️

My name is Kaiya. I was born Feb 2013. There were 2 other Kaiyas in my preschool, but I never met another after that. They spelled it Kaia. I have an American Girl doll named Kaya, also pronounced the'same. I like my name. It is unique!

My name is Kaiya. I ancipate teache's mispronouncing my name but rarely someone will pronounce it correctly. The correct way to say the name is (Kai-ya).I have never ever met someone with my name.

This is my daughters name and I love it. Her name is Aniya Grace and when I went to look it up, Aniya means grace.

My baby girl was born January 31st 2020 and her name is Kaiya Evelyn. Her father and I are huge music fanatics and got the name from the Bob Marley album "Kaya". The name is rastafarian for enlightenment! :)

I'm five months pregnant and Kaiya will be my daughter's name. I first heard this on Bob Marley's CD (Kaya). I love his music, but prefer the'spelling above for fear that people will pronounce it KAY-a. She will be named Kaiya Sue-Lynn after my husband's mom and my mother :) can't wait to meet her!

We just found out that we're having a little boy. My father's side has had a specific naming theme for generations: Leo, JI'my Lee, Johnny Lee, It'skipped me but I'm carrying it on, Jaiden Lee Clark WillI'ms will be my boys name. I was timid that it may be too feminine, but obviously people like it as a boy's name.

I love this name. It's beautiful and I'd use it in a heartbeat!

My name is Kaiya. In my life I have meet 4 other Kaiyas only one spelt her name the'same as mine. It gets butchered all the time and people think it comes from the bob marley song... My parents picked it because it has native american meaning of new moon & loving child. I laughed when I heard it in Willow as a kid.

I named my daughter Kaiya Charlize and she was born in 2018 ... She is ten and absolutely adores her unique and beautiful name.

I am a forty three year old lady, and my name is Kyya. It is the'same Kyya that was on willow. I had never'seen'that movie, but I was at a friend's house and I heard the pronunciation of my name and was swept off my feetwhen'the name was said. When I was growing up no one had that name. I use to hate the name Kyya, but when I got grown I embraced my name. Now I have people naming their children after me. I know the'spelling is unusual, but the first Y is pronounced as an I, so that is what gives exception to the rule with the vowels. A,E,I,O,U and sometimes Y is pronounced as an I. I love my name Kyya.

My name is Kaiya and we pronounce it, the'sound of a k, eye, yuh. I have only met one other person with my name, she just spells it differently. I'm 14, and every once in a while someone says it correctly. I love my name, and my parents got my name from being Hawaiian, and Indian, meaning princess of the water. So many other meanings are out there as well, but i love it!♡

y name is Iesha, Too may peopl got that name though.

I named my daughter "Kaiya" in the early 1992's before willow --after a good friend who was named "Kiaya" who was born in 1981--- inter'sting the chart does not show any children of this name in the early 80's-- it was uncommon but it was in use b/4 Willow came in to being.... ummmm where do you think the writer of Willow got it! KaI'means "water"(without which we cannot live- giver of life) in Hawaiian .... the Gaelic meaning is similar "breathe of life"--- this is a unique name and if you use it you will have to spell it for people but your child will not be confused with a million Abby's Jennifer's or Tiffany's....

My name is Kaiya and it pronounce it like : k eye yah

my experience with this name was naming my beautiful puppy, kaiya. nothing fIt'sooooo perfectly than this exotic, magical, enchanting name...so for all you "humans" named, kaiya..i am so jealous :-)

My Daughter name is Ma'Kaiya Kinara Karmen we call her Kaiya as well or Kai-Kai. She was born Dec. 4th 2021. I have the'same problem people pronounce it Makayla. I love the name it means "forgiveness". I get a lot of great compliments on her name.

my name is Kaiya i love the name but it is not in the english dictonary people often spell it wrong im 9 years old and i was born march 3!

my youngest daughter is named Kaiya, and even family members spell it wrong all the time--but i don't care about that. i chose this particular spelling for the Japanese meaning but also just found out it is an Aboriginal Australian name too

I love it. My husband and I decided about 3 years ago to name our future daughter that. Now I just have to finish grad. school so I can have a baby! I really, really love this name. Boys names are much harder for me.

My 2 yr old daughter's name is Kaiya and the only people who can pronounce it right other than family were her doctors and nurses.

Our oldest (of soon to be 4 daughters) is named Kaiya Louise (middle after my grandma). I have loved her name'since I was a high-schooler and had spelled it differently thinking I had made it up (Keiya). Then discovered it was actually a real name and settled on the Japanese spelling Kaiya. I love it. I love her nick name Kai.

my name is kaiya and i love my name it is rare and i dont know anyone else with that name :)

Kaiya is my daughter's name. She was born March 07. I guess I got the name from the movie Willow. But when I looked up the meanings, I loved it even more. I went with the'spelling that translated 'Forgiveness'. It is always mispronounced. But I think people will get more use to it with time.

It is inter'sting the chart has no children names Kaiya before the 90'S ❤️❤️❤️ My daughter "Kaiya Colleen" was born in 1994 and named after a friend of mine names "Kiaya" who was born in the 60's❤️❤️❤️❤️ another meaning of Kaiya is a variation of forgiveness... "breath of life" or new life which comes for Kai or water ... ie religious reference to baptI'm of new life after forgiveness..In the movie Willow it refers to the ability to be well rooted, reach out for that which sustains it and be flexible...(Kiaya is the mother figure so the name grows with your daughter)My daughter has loved the name ... as has Kiaya whom we named her after.... we are in fact sad it has grown in popularity because we enjoyed It's unique qualities and meaning... sadly even Disney has picked it up with a website "K is for Kaiya" arghhhhhhhhh! PS Spelling with any name can be an issue: Chris "Kris"; Ann Anne;Mary Marye; Kaitlin and CAITLYN... an on and on

My daughter "Kaiya" was born August 12, 2021. I wanted something different but couldn't find a girl name I really loved. Before deciding on "Kaiya" she was going to be named "Payton" because everyone else liked it. A few days before I was due my grandma was watching the news. Micheal Jackson had just passed so he was the big story still. His cook was named "Kaia". My grandma said she liked the name, so I was like I kinda like it too. It'seemed unusual but not too out there. I have since found it is more popular than I had imagined. Some people pronouche it Kay-uh, or ask how do you say it. Then othe's who are familar with the "AI" sound pronouce it just fine. It is hit or miss with people. You just have to be patient with people and spell the name often. I really decided on this name because I looked up the name "KYA" also prounuced like "Kaiya" and it meant "dI'mond in the'sky". This sold me on the name. The'spelling I came up with it after'someone told me about the movie "Willow". Actually in the credits though they spell "KAIYA" with "I" before "A" (KIAYA). However, I didn't want people to pronounce her name like the car "KIA". After futher research of the hawaiian spelling of "KY" being "KAI" I decided this was the best spelling (KAIYA). I don't know if my daughter will like the name we shall see. I love it though!! Her nick name is just "KAI" for short but I call her both. Oh yeah her middle name is "Nicole" (After her aunt). I love the way it flows "Kaiya Nicole". Sometimes I call her that too just for fun. :)

i named my daughter kaiya and i love it ~it fits her. it also means "dI'mond in the'sky"

I love being named kaiya although people always call me kia or kaeyia or anything else unusual i also love the name kai

My son and daughter-in-law studied many names for their precious little girl. My husband is Japanese Hawaiian and they wanted to honor her heritage also. They chose Kaiya which is Japanese for Forgiveness - what better name to remind us always we are forgiven by God of all our sins because He gave His only Son, Jesus so that we may have everlasting Life : ) Praise God for our little Miracle born on such a Holy week of celebration for the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus,to remind us of the'sacrifice - born April11, 2018

My puppy us Kaiya from willow and I think theeaning of the name forgiveness is great.

my granddaugter is called Kaiya,she is 15 months old and a little darling,I'make name cards to frame and found Kaiya means forgiveness in japanese

My daughters name is Kaiya. The way that i pronounce her name is Kay (with a long a sound)then A (with a short a sound). I actually did not know that this many people had the name Kaiya. I'made up the'spelling when i was about to have my daughter.

I few months ago I adopted a female Siberian Husky puppy and named her Kaiya. I wanted to find out the meaning of her name and stumbled across this site. I think it is a beautiful name, for a pup or a little girl! Thanks for putting the meanings in your comments!! The meaning "Forgiveness" fits her perfectly!! She is such a crazy pup right now! <3

I named my daughter Kaiya. She was born Jan 24, 2020. I named her Kaiya after her father and I struggled to agree on a name. I looked up the meaning and found it meant "dI'mond in the'sky". I love it but people always ask how to pronounce her name. I didnt want to plague her with always having her name'spelled wrong or improperly pronounced! I too have that problem...but people don't know how to pronounce the "AI"! Kai...thai...thought it was a no brainer. Oh well!

I absolutely love the name Kaiya! In fact, my lovely female tuxedo cat is named Kaiya Lily. Though I haven't heard many people pronounce it wrong [I pronounce it ky-ah- rhyming with hiya], I do have to admit a lot of people spell it incorrectly. All in all, I think It's a beautiful name :)

Kaiya is agood name. It'sounds so sweet! I love it!

My name is 'Kiaya' and I havent met anyone with the'same name as me. Its an AWESOME name to have

I don't have any kids yet but I want a baby girl and if I'm blessed with one I will definitely name her Kaiya. I think its a beautiful name!!

my name is kahya and alternate spelling of kaia or kaiya..there are about 7 ways to spell..i pronounce it ki-ya, ki like high and ya

My name is also pronounced Kai-ya, and based on this popularity I can'tell why teache's have become better at pronouncing it. I'm in middle school so I'm not sure about other grades in my area but I only know one other girl named Kaiya, It's spelled differently though. Our name is unique❤️ It is often spelled Kiaya but at least pronunciation is right so they know who I am haha, but I love this name, after all it is mine.

My name is Kaiya. A lot of people spell or pronounce it wrong, but It's a cool name I guess. My parents claim It's Hebrew

Our daughter, born Dec 2021, is named Kaiya (long "I" like "eye" -ya") and everyone loves it. I actually got it when I saw the movie Willow as a kid. Willow's wife was named Kaiya and spelled the'same way. i've always loved that name. When I tell people her name they love it. It's nice to know she won't have 9 other kids in class with the'same name like the Jennifers or Kaitlins of the world. HORRAY FOR KAIYAS!!!

my name is kaiya and everyone calls it a different name like keyanna or spells it wrong or pronounces it wrong, but this is how you pronounce it:kai-ah

My husband and I had a beautiful baby girl on Father's Day in 2021 and we named her Kaiya Elizabeth. We actually thought that we had made up the'spelling and were being original but now I see that many othe's share her name. We have yet to come across another Kaiya and when we tell people her name everyone comments about how much they love it. We have had people misspell and mispronounce, but it doesn't bother us.

I love being named Kaiya! Even'though people say and spell it wrong, for example Kayeya, Keya. People usually just call me Kai because It's shorter and easier to remember. I have never met anyone else with my name and I also didn't know that it was Japanese. That's funny cause I also love Japanese anime.

Our Kaiya is due this month and I love what people have written about the name. We love it! I actually liked the'spelling KAYA since I am a Bob Marley fan, but was overruled by my wife. Nonetheless I love the name because it is unique but not too unique and has a great meaning.

My daugters name is Kaiya. She is born in march 1999. At that time the name Kaiya was unique. Lovely name. Venlo Netherlands

I have just noticed on here a comment that was left last year by a person who's child was born on the 12th August 2021 and she was called Kaiya. I find this really strange as i had my daughter on the 12th August 2021 and also called her Kaiya, what are the chances of that!!!

I have a daughter born May 2018 and her name is Kaiya, pronounced the'same way...I had a hard time finding a name when I found out I was having a girl...I saw Kai...and thought I was being different by adding a "y & a" to the end and then pronouncing it a lil' different ...I didn't know that there was so many Kaiya's...I wanted something unique, and It's ALWAYS pronounced wrong and/or spelled wrong...but, It's ok mine is too...Shena in N.H. ---pronounced Sh-en-a. not Sheena

My little angel walks this world and her name is also Kaiya. I have read that it is Japanese, Aboriginal, and an African name. If it means forgiveness, then I like the'simplicity and integrity of the name. I chose "Kaiya" because I think it means "spear". The'spear metaphor is always paralled to a stanza of an insightful poem written by a prophet called Kahil Ibrahim, called "Children". This stanza compares parents and their offspring to a bow and arrow. The parent is the bow, directing, guiding, wisely tring to release the arrow (the child) so that the arrow finds the right direction. I thought arrows and spears are rather'similar, and the concept could be applied to the name "Kaiya" too. It is very versitile, can be abbreviated to "Kai". Over all, even'though many people spell and pronounce it incorrectly, it is a cute, beautiful name that I am glad we chose. Viva la Kaiya's

We named our daughter "Kalene" Her grandmothe's are Erolene and Eileen and I (her mother) am Charlene. There is another girl in our church named "Kaylene" and it turns out both were given'the'same nicknames by their families: Beenie!

I love my name it is a cool name. I also think it is cool for people to spell it wrong and pronounce it wrong because that means it is a awesome name.

I love this name! My husband and I are expecting our first child in January, not sure if its a boy or girl yet, but if it is a girl her name will be Kaiya Rose, we will find out in about 5 weeks!! My husband just randomly came across this name when we were looking for a girl name, I feel in love with it instantly!

My Name is Kiaya, which is pronounced Ky-yah or kai-ya or Ky-ah. Which ever way people say it. My Mother named me Kiaya from the movie Willow That came out in the 80s. I like it not many people where im from are named Kiaya.

Well my father is named Lawrence as am I. Growing up with this name wasn't super fun. It made me really embarrassed to introduce myself honestly. But once I grew up and gained confidence in myself and developed all the'social skills as anyone does throughout school, it was MY name. Everyone knew who I was because I was the only one. I love it now. When i say it over the phone people think im saying Ryan. Anyway, its a weird one but a good one. sounds proffesional now that i am 25, its a great way to stand out and it gives me confidence.

We named our daugher'shayne who was born in 2011. We love the name. Her middle name is Marie. We get lots of compliments on it. She loves it. I am glad we didn't choose a boring common name.

Kaiya is my name and im 23 years old and i love my name! everyone that i know in meet for the first time loves my name, i only know two people with the name kaiya and one of them was named after me!...kaiya is not so hard to say but most people spell it wrong... i loved my name'so much that when i have a little girl of my own her middle name will be kaiya!!

my name is KAIYA & i am the best so eveybody else with the name kaiya YOU RULE !

We are naming our baby girl Parker. On every site but this one, I got straight evil responses. Pure hatred for the name. So now It's definitely going to be Parker.

My name is Kaiya and people pronounce it wrong all the time. My mother heard it in a movie, and the correct pronunciation is kIy (long I sound)- a (like a "uh" sound.)

My name is "Kiaya" (born in 2003) from the movie Willow and due to the'spelling of my name, I too am constantly having it mispronounced! Often being said as "key - A - Ya". Although I love it and it makes receiving gifts with my name all the more special!

my daughter Kaiya Leigh was named after two people i knew and liked both there names together and Kai(a boy)and Maya (a girl) Kaiya. When she was in kindergarten she didnt like her name and was teased with the car Kia, kids are silly. That was when she was five now she is 22 and loves her name! There is noone like her. So embrace all you Kaiya's however you spell it its a great name.

my name is Kiaya King... apparently its of Finish Origin and means re-birth!! little did my parents realise that they has named me after a popular watersport at the time hahaha.. ilove it though!! my niece has been named Tiaya after my name (tia). :)

My name is kaiya it is pronounced Kai-ya I thought I was the only person with this name but I geuss I was wrong and it is cool

didn't realise how many people watched Willow I too named my beautiful daughter from Willow's wife. Fell in love with the name when I was 13 years old I vowed to name my first daughter Kaiya. She is now 14

We named our daughter Kalyn 4 years ago. People always confuse the name with Caitlin, which means we have to repeat it or let them know there is no "t".

My name is Kiah and i say it the'same way just spell it Kiah. I love it!

My name is kaiya too im 9 years old and i love this name even'though people pronounce it wrong sometimes,I have never met anyone with the'same name.

Yes people prenounce my name wrong. So I gave myself the nickname Gigi so It's easier. But people say It's unique. I am Italian so my mother named me that. I honestly love it and hope people can start pronouncing it correctly.
