Pronounced duh-MY-uh /dəˈmaɪ.ə/Medium
Meaning: Dmya is a modern American coinage, usually read as D'Mya - a contracted, apostrophe-style respelling in the family of Amya and Amaya. The vowel-light spelling is the point: it personalizes a fashionable sound. It carries no fixed traditional meaning of its own.Low

History & Origin
Dmya is a stripped-down spelling of D'Mya, itself a variation on the popular sound of Amya and Amaya. Names in this group flourished in the early 2000s, when creative orthography - dropped vowels, apostrophes, doubled letters - was a common way to make a familiar sound feel personal.
It was always rare, appearing around 2006 with only a couple dozen girls a year before fading. A child named Dmya then is now a teenager, which places it neatly in the era of inventive spellings; the name's meaning lives in its sound rather than any older root.
