History & Origin

Meeya is a phonetic form of Mia or Miya. Mia serves as a short form of Maria and also stands alone meaning 'mine' in Italian and Spanish, while Miya carries separate Japanese and South Asian readings. The doubled-e spelling makes the long vowel unmistakable.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point in the mid-two-thousands. A girl named Meeya then is about twenty today.

Did you know? Meeya simply spells the popular sound 'MEE-yuh' exactly as it is said, a common instinct among parents who wanted the familiar Mia sound with a fresh look.
