Indiya is a respelling of India, the English name for the South Asian country. The name India was used as a given name in the 19th century, but Indiya is a modern variation that gained some usage in the late 20th century, likely influenced by fashionable spellings with 'i' instead of 'a'. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1987 and peaked in popularity in 2000.
