History & Origin
Namaya belongs to the modern practice of reshaping a familiar name — here Maya or Amaya — into something new. It has no documented meaning of its own, and because Maya and Amaya each carry rich but separate histories, we decline to borrow a gloss for Namaya and simply note that its routes are uncertain. Rare, soft and contemporary (said 'nuh-MY-uh').
It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, gentle, and modern.
