Meaning & origin
Itzia is a rare and modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1985. Despite its low overall frequency, it has shown a rising trajectory in usage since the 1990s, reaching its peak rank in 2021. By 2025, the name ranked 5,917th, with an estimated 1 in 80,363 newborn girls receiving it. The name's popularity is geographically concentrated, with California being the top state. Itzia is likely a creative respelling of Itzel, a Mayan name with mythological associations, though this connection remains speculative. Its rarity and phonetic appeal make it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with a contemporary feel and possible Indigenous roots.
Itzia is a modern, creative variant of Itzel, a name of Mayan origin. Itzel appears in the Popol Vuh as the goddess of the moon and love, but the spelling Itzia is a recent innovation, likely emerging in the United States as a respelling or shortening. Since the 1980s, Itzia has seen limited but steady use, particularly among families seeking a name with Indigenous roots adjusted for English phonetics.
