History & Origin

Mekia is a coined American girl's name, most naturally read as Me- plus Kia, a light and rhythmic pairing typical of late-century invention. A secondary reading links it to the Hebrew Michaiah, 'who is like the Lord,' a name it resembles in sound. Either way, Mekia belongs to the creative American tradition of building fresh, feminine names from pleasing syllables.

Mekia appears in United States records mainly in the nineteen-seventies, given to about fifteen girls at its best and fading within a couple of decades. A girl named Mekia then would be in her late forties today, her name a quiet product of that inventive era.

Did you know? The short, bright syllable Kia inside Mekia became a favorite naming building block in the later twentieth century, standing alone and combining freely into names like Mekia and Nakia.
