History & Origin

Pachia is a Hmong name, usually written as two parts, Pa and Chia, following the Hmong pattern of combining name elements. The Pa- opening is one of the most common in Hmong girls' names and is frequently linked with 'flower.' The name came to the United States with Hmong families who resettled after the wars in Southeast Asia, and it remains a clearly Hmong choice.

In American records the name is uncommon, given to only a dozen or so girls a year at its peak around 1998 and appearing chiefly among Hmong families. A girl named Pachia then is in her mid-twenties today.

Did you know? Many Hmong girls' names begin with Pa-, an element often tied to the idea of a flower, so Pachia sits within a large and recognizable family of Hmong names.
