Meaning & origin
Demyah is a modern American name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2003, a time when creatively spelled names ending in -yah were gaining popularity. It has never reached the top 1000, but saw its peak usage in 2018. Since 2017, its frequency has been declining.

Parents drawn to names like Aaliyah or Maya may find Demyah an appealingly distinctive alternative.
