History & Origin

Khamiya has no documented etymology. It reads as a modern American coinage in the well-populated -miya family, next to Kamiya, Amiya and Tamia, dressed with the decorative Kh- opening that has become popular in recent decades. Because a sound-alike is an echo and not descent, we do not attach it to any older word, and present Khamiya honestly as a coinage of uncertain route (said 'kah-MEE-uh').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, soft, and newly emerging.

Did you know? The Kh- opening on Khamiya is an ornamental spelling choice rather than a mark of Arabic origin - the name itself is a recent American coinage, which we say plainly.
