History & Origin
Zadaya is best read as an original coinage rather than a heritage name, part of a wave of fresh -aya names that sounded current in the twenty-tens. Its likely model is Zendaya, though the two are not related by root. It surfaced only faintly, reaching a small high around 2016.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak, and it stayed rare across the decade. A girl named Zadaya at that high would still be a child today. The name reads as an inventive, of-the-moment choice with no fixed meaning.
