History & Origin
Maniya is a modern American coinage joining a Ma- prefix with the -niya ending shared by Aniya, Saniya and Taniya. It belongs to the early-twenty-first-century fondness for soft, vowel-rich, freshly minted girls' names prized for sound and individuality rather than a fixed traditional meaning.
Maniya drew a modest number of girls a year and peaked around 2006, and it has continued in light use into recent years. Its spelling can be read a few ways, so its sound is worth spelling out. A Maniya from that peak is a teenager now, a Gen-Z name.
