History & Origin

Takya is a coined name joining the Ta- prefix to a -kya ending. It appears in United States records from the late 1980s, part of a large family of inventive Ta- girls' names.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its early-2000s high. A girl named Takya then is in her twenties now, from a generation rich in coined Ta- names.
