History & Origin
Jniya appears in United States records from the late 1990s as a contracted form of Janiya. It keeps the fashionable -niya ending while trimming the opening; its appeal is the sleek, compact sound rather than a traceable meaning.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its mid-2000s high. A girl named Jniya then is in her late teens or twenties now; the name remains a rare modern coinage.
