Meaning & origin
Fia is a name that entered U.S. records in 2006 and has been steadily climbing. In 2025 it ranked 1,733, with an estimated 1 in 13,737 baby girls receiving the name. Its peak year so far is 2025, reflecting a rising trajectory. The name is most popular in Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Jersey. While its origins are debated between Irish roots and a modern link to Sofia, its short, melodic sound has broad appeal. Fia represents a fresh choice that feels both simple and distinctive.
Fia may have Irish roots as a short form of Fiachna, an ancient name meaning 'raven.' However, it is also used as a modern diminutive of Sofia, particularly in English-speaking countries. The name saw a notable rise in the United States after 2006.
