History & Origin

Kiasia is a coined name that fits the Ki- sound onto Asia, a place name adopted as a girls' name and sometimes linked to a word for 'sunrise' or 'east'. The blend gives Asia a longer, more lyrical shape while keeping its bright, worldly feel.

Kiasia never became common in United States records. It appeared around 1990, reached a quiet high of a couple dozen girls a year around 2001, and remained uncommon. A girl named Kiasia then is in her twenties now.

Did you know? Asia, the continent name inside Kiasia, was a genuinely trendy American girls' name in the nineteen-nineties, inspiring blends like this one.
