History & Origin
Zanyia appears in United States records from the 2000s as a variant within the Zaniyah family. It joins a Za- opening with the -nyia ending; its appeal is the light, flowing sound rather than a traceable meaning.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-2000s high. A girl named Zanyia then is a teenager or young adult now; the name remains a rare, of-its-era coinage.
