History & Origin
Kevia is a contemporary American coinage that turns the Kev- of Kevin, an Irish name for 'gentle, kind, handsome,' into a girl's name with the flowing -ia ending. It is assembled from a familiar element rather than descended from an older name.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1990. A girl named Kevia then is in her mid-thirties today, a rare feminine echo of the era's popular Kevin.
