History & Origin
Ikia reads as a coined name rather than an inherited one, sharing its bright -kia ending with names such as Kia, Takia, and Nakia. It appears in United States records from the late 1970s and reached a quiet high around the year 2000, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
An Ikia from that turn-of-the-century high is now in her twenties. It has not become fashionable, but its short, open sound still fits comfortably beside the many -ia names parents continue to favor.
