History & Origin
Tkia is a coined name joining a T- prefix to Kia, a close relative of Takia and Takiya. The compact spelling reflects a fashion for streamlined, sometimes apostrophe-marked names in late twentieth-century African American communities. It is chosen for its bright sound rather than a dictionary meaning, which we note honestly.
Tkia was never common in the United States, drifting through the records from the nineteen-nineties and given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 2002. A girl named Tkia then is in her early twenties today.
