History & Origin

Chakia is a coined name built from a Cha- opening and a -kia ending that echoes Shakia and Kia. Names of this style were shaped for rhythm and individuality rather than passed down.

Chakia appears in United States records from the late nineteen-seventies, reaching its small peak around 1993 when it was given to only about twenty girls a year before fading. A girl named Chakia at that peak would be in her early thirties today.
