History & Origin
Namia has no recorded etymology. It reads as a modern coinage in the -mia and -amia family, close to Amia, Samia, Mia and Nadia. Samia has a documented Arabic route and Nadia a Slavic and Arabic one, but Namia is not descended from either; it borrows the shape and the music only. We therefore present it honestly as a coinage whose routes are uncertain (said 'NAH-mee-uh').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, soft, and newly emerging.
