Hola! My name is Nakia, I am female and My mother told me she named me after a lady how had straigh honor roll... but I think that was only to make me beli've that I should live up to that name. She was originally going to name me Eden, but my father and his mother didn't like it. So now, My name is Nakia and my middle name is Eden. I hated my name but all i've gotten so far were compliments. I used to think it was Russian and it meant something completely different. But my music teacher who's Russian said that "No, Nakita is Russian" So I went on a hunt to search for the meaning. Being as how much I love Bollywood, I was amused to find out that in Arabic it means faithful and Pure, the'same thing in Egyptian and somethind along the lines of a brave warrior in Indian... don't know which language... or maybe that meant it for the movie that you guys were talking about. i've only found out about the movie I think today. Whenever I never paid attention in writing my name, I always wrote my name being Name because of the first to letters, lol! Yeah... I know... odd. I never knew about the Japanese thing or the Greek thing but I think I was too fustrated in not Finding my name written on things, like cups, pens, etc. I really hated being called Nikki, I'm usually called Kia because my family's from Belize. OR my uncle calls me Nikki Nik,lol! And no... no one usually knows how to pronounce it. But I also just go with Na-Kee-Ya. My old peruvian spanish teacher pronounced it Knock-Ya,lol! but whatever. It's been amusing to find only two other people with my name.

My name is Nakia and I am a female. People are always misspelling my name and they don't know how to pronounce it at all. Every time I type my name I always get a message telling me my name is misspelled. You would think with the Kia cars around people would know how to say Nakia(Na-kee-a). I have met two othe's with the name but they spell it Nekia oh and people tend to call me Nikki which I hate!

I'm 25 and after high school I started to meet more people that had the'same name. I had a teacher in second grade that called me Na-ky-a for the entire year. I too was in the generation of chia pets, nokia phones, and kia cars... and kids offened joked about my name. Its always misspelled Nikkia, Nekkia, Nikia, ect...

My name is "NaKeya" (Nah-Kee-Ya)(female). I love my name I think I am the only person in the US that'spells her name the way I do. Often called "Nikki" or "Keya" Thanks to my mother who had me in 1995. She'says that'she got my name from a friend who's daughter name is Lakia and she found that my name means..(unconquered)(Faithful)&(Paradise of Love)even'though a lot of people don't know how to pronounce it I still love my name.

Nakia is a Native American (Navajo) name. It became rather popular in the early 1982's when Actor, Robert Forster, portrayed A Navajo Lawman, first in a movie, which co-starred Linda Evans, then in a T.V. series, which co-starred Arthur Kennedy. The'show only lasted one season, but the name'stuck. Robert Forster has appeared in many movies, and even been nominated for an oscar, but most people remember him as 'Nakia Parker'.

I have also been'told it was a river in Africa. I did not know it was a Native American name. My mother is a mixture of African-American and Native American heritage. So it makes sense-finally! I used to hate my name as a child because everyone says it wrong. But I have developed an appreciation for it now that I am older.

Hello Nakyia's (or how ever you spell it) I was named after the television pilot which aired on 4/17/1986 and I was born less than 10 days later. I have never met a Nakyia older than I. People constantly mispronounced my name when I was younger BUT thanks to all the Nakyia's popping up in the world the pronouncation has improved. Almost everyone misspells it. My mom and Aunt actually did some research on the name back then (my family is NA) and was told that the Y indicates the child is a female. Is this true❤️ IDK but I LOVE IT !!!

My son is named Nakia Hori Te Pohe Wall I dreamt this name when I was 17 yrs old carved it into the wooden handles of my handbag to remember it. Nakia is pronounced Nar key a and yes it is always mispronounced. He belongs to the Ngati Tuwharetoa Tribe and his sub tribe is Tutamahuta (Maori) in New Zealand and we have not come across this name here as yet. Nakia often gets called Narks, Nakaia, Ngakea. We are very proud of the name Nakia and shocked to see how common it is.

Greetings everyone my family Surname was Nakia. My grandmother'said they had intermingled with some Maori tribes from New Zealand; name Aotearoa 1878. Old stories of them coming out of the Pacific, killing the men & keeping the woman & children were taught to us, so growing up I had a non inter'st in learning about them; but It's our family's history. The ones that made it to Georgia, settled near the Etowah Mounds. Leakes Mounds are in Cartersville Georgia; the government destroyed the mounds in Bartow County. Goes back 300 B.C. until 650 A.D.; the'site was excavated to widen State Highway 61/113. Now I'm upset because I can't go to the'site and study how my family lived in the past. We are if Mayan ancestry also, so I am currently doing reasearch on that'side of the family. Their are many more sIt's in West Georgia, but the government won't allow anyone to enter the old Mayans sIt's. But I still strive to go. Peace & Blessings

I'm a Nakia (Na-key-uh) as well. I was born in 1994. My mom heard one of her co-workers talking about her niece named Nakia, and she liked It'so much she ended up using it for me. When I was in elementary school I didn't like it because I could never get any of the'stuff with my name on it (like pencils, and key chains) lol. Also, growing up in south it got misspelled and mispronounced a lot. But now I love it. It's unique enough that I'm usually the only one in group with it, but it doesn't sound made up either. My nickname has always been Kiki, but some of my friends call me Keeks now. I really hate being called Nicky lol. I learned about the movie "Nakia" in the past year and I'd love to see It'sometime. I didn't know about the Greek, Russian, and Japanese meanings until today though.Inter'sting, I'might have just found the inspiration for another tattoo.

My name is Nakia and I LOVE my name! It means "unconquered" in Greek, "pure" in Arabic, and "pure and faithful" in Egyptian. Most common Nickname I get is "Nicki" or "Nakiki," or "Nicki-Pooh." It also helps that I know very few people with the'same name'so It's usually just me in a crowd of people with the name. Much easier identification.

Hello to all the Nakia's. Well I was born in 1989 and my mom as well as other got my name from the movie Nakia. I hatwd my name growing up. I was like why did my mom have to give me this name. But unfortunately I was the only one in school with that name. I hated when people would try to pronounce it because they could never get it right. As I begin middle school there was a girl in my class name Nakia. I was so excited. When I got into high school there were 3 othe's name Nakia. There were guys and girls name Nakia. I havw come to love my name. I get compliments that I have such a beautiful name, now I have the nickname of Keke because some people still can't pronounce it.

Hello, my name is Nakia as well, I often get compliments. Being a female my mom always told me that it was a male name,(I was named after my grandfathe's uncle). As the years have passed I now meet more females with the name. Overall I enjoy it. I beli've that "Nakia" fits me well.

I am a Nakia and all through grammar and high school, my name was continuously mispronounced. It's not only until recent years were unique names are more common that I feel less of an outsider. Last but not least, I get tired of people asking me, where my parents got the name. Reality it, does it matter. The good thing is, most people at work know who I am by first name and my last name is rarely if ever needed.

My name is Nakia and I am female. My name is misspelled all the time! Like "Nikia" "Nikea" "Nickea" Ugh! People sometimes say it wrong too, like "Nah-keh-eye-a" i've met about two people with my name in elementary school. I, for the most part like my name, since not many people have it and it has such a nice meaning: Egyptian - Pure, Faithful, and in Russian - Unconquerable/Unconquered. Also, I do get lots of complements, and people tell me my name is pretty. Though, what's really annoying is that people will say "Do you have a Nokia phone/do you have a Kia car" >>;

For having a name with only 5 letters, people sure can mess it up. I got a few jokes about the car "Kia" or the "Nokia" phone. I have gotten more compliments than jokes about my name. It can also be a conversational topic for those who are subject to only hearing european names. Not many men share the'same name as I do. I think that it makes the name more distinct and thus makes It'special. Who wants to have a boring name that millions of other people share...

I'm a female also born in 1987. My mom let her friend name me and i don't know where she got it from. But i have researched and found that in Arabic it means "Pure", Egyptian for Pure/Faithful, in Greek and Russian it means Unconquered or unconquerable, It's a type of japanese flower i think, and It's also a native american name (i can't remember what tribe) for "I'm not going to tell" It took me a while to realize that "I'm not going to tell" was the meaning, and not just somebody keeping a secret about the name origin. I used to hate the name because all my friends had "normal" names like Beth and Christina and i prefered to be called Nikki. But when i got older i realized how special and unique it is and I LOVE IT. I'm actually a little sad to see so many of you have the name. But at least we're all unique together. :)

My name is Nakia. I was born in 1989. I am a male. My mother & Father agreed on this name as they heard it from the TV show by that name. I had a hard time with this name growing up. No one seemed to be able to pronounce it. This caused me to go by Kia for a few years. Later I started to go by Nick, and that is what I go by today. I do however respect the name my parents gave to me, but do not use it often. I have noticed that the name is being used more by males today, but mostly females. I have never met another person with my name. Not many can say that. It's cool to hear so many with this name, and there experiences in life.

My mom always told me it was african swahili for beautiful, and definintely inherited the nickname Nikki from family and friends who found it difficult to remember. I never thought about my name much, until i got older and saw a lot of younger kids with my name and met a couple of males with my name also.

Now that I am an adult, I love me name, it is so unique, and i never realized that there was more of us around! I also thought it was just a female name though:) Whenever I'meet someone, they absolutly love it, and wondering what origin it was and what it meant. Now my mother thought it was Native American, and since my father was native, It'suited perfect. I have found different meanings, including Standing Tall, Pure and Faithful, and Brave Warrior... And when i think of myself, Nikia suits me pretty good. :)

My name is spelled Nakeya. According my mother'she was watching a movie about an Indian boy in the 70's, she happened to be pregnant with me and she liked the name'so that's what I was named. Yes, people constantly mispronounce and misspell my name all the time. My grandmother came up with my nickname Nikki which is what most of my family and close friends call me. I used to hate my name growing up because it was unique. Now that I am older I embrace the name. People always ask what nationality I am or tell me It's very pretty. I have met about 4 people with this name. I also know a Sakia, Tkeyah and Lanika.

I too have had people make the Nokia joke...a very dry and lame joke I'might add. But,I like my name and most people who meet me like it as well. People have definately spelled my name incorrectly in the past. However, as the name has become more popular in recent years, thats not really a problem any more.

My name is Nekia. My mother used to watch a television show that aired for only a year in the early 70s about a Native American man named "Nakia". She thought the name was so beautiful and decided to make it more feminine by spelling it "Nekia". I love my name and yes, people call me "Nikki", "Nik". I just hate when people call me "Kia".

A LOT of people spell my name wrong! They spell it Nikia or Niikia. It is spell NAKIA! My friends always ask me how to spell it. One of my friends call me Nokia or they'll say No Kia! My mom says that'she got my name from a song. I could've been named Kahlen, but my mom was going to go with Nakia. Some of my family members call me Kiki or Kia. I really like this name Nakia. It's not really common, that's what I like about it!

My name is NaKia and I absolutely love it...now. i've always had an obsession with Ancient Egypt, from when I was a little girl and only recently did I find out that I was named after the woman who was thought to be King Tut's mother, Kiya, one of the wives of Aken'ten(sp❤️). The name NaKia means "pure and faithful", quite fitting for me, I'must say. I am in the generation that had to endure the Chia pet, Kia cars and Nokia phones. I actually had someone call me Sprint once!! So I started doing the "your call cannot be completed as dialed" thing when he did that. I'm called Kia, Nikkie, or NiNi. Only recently have I asked new people to call me NaKia...I find the name to be quite nice to hear, lol.

I also was born in 1987 and got my name from the tv show. I am male and I love the fact that I do not share a common name with the rest of society. I get more compliments than negative comments about my name. However, I have no problem correcting those who need it. One thing you don't do is disrespect someones name. I dont need a nickname because my name is unique enough. NAKIA is a pretty cool name and I'm proud to have it.

Hello to all, My name is Nakia as well and I was born in 1987. My parents left it up to my grandmother to name me before I was born. I was going to be named after my grandfather, Benny and was going to me called "Bennie". I guess the'spelling with an "ie" was to make the name'seem more feminine. Any how, luckily I did not arrive on time and my grandmother enjoyed watching a TV movie by the name "Nakia". She feel in love with the name. Lucky me.

My name is also Nakia (pronounced with a long "i" sound, in the Native American Indian culture, not an "ee" sound. The name "Nakia" has different origins and sounds. In addition, in the Indian culture, it can be used for males or females. I like my name a lot, but people usually misprounce it.

My name is Nikia, and I actually always hated the name. I'm female, born May 28, 2011, and still haven't come to love it yet. It's not the fact that people say it wrong or misspell it, It's the fact that I constantly get made fun of for it. Most of the time It's just for fun, not so much for bullying, but it can really get annoying. The name gets compared to Nokia, Ikea, and so on and It's so frustrating. Some day maybe I'll be able to love my name, but for now, I think it would've been best if my parent gave me a more common female name.

Once, long time ago, in the early 70's, I watched some program on T.V in Zimbabwe with an actor in it called Nakia. Since then I always wanted a son called Nakia, but my wife didn't like that name for our son. So I bought a German Sheppard and I called him by that name. We were all happy.

I too am named Nakia. Nakia Miale. For the longest time I didn't like my name as I thought it was too unsual and brought me unwanted attention as a professional. But I have since come to adore who I am and the name that was bestowed upon me! I now know that there's power in a name, in my name! Without even knowing it, my mother blessed me with a name that means (UNCONQUERED-greek) and (FAITHFUL-egyptian). As I continue to grow as a woman and humanitarian, I have come to realize that no other name would've served to capture the very essence of who GOD has called me to be, faithful unconquered one!!
