History & Origin
Santia sits between an invented name and a trimmed Santina, the Italian-flavored name from Latin sanctus, 'holy'. Its San- opening and gentle -tia close place it among American coinages that borrow a familiar root for a fresh, melodic result.
It has never been common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high near 2002. The name reads as warm and lightly Latinate, though its exact route is uncertain, which we note.
