Meaning & origin
Kamia is a modern and uncommon name in the United States, first recorded in 1973. It reached its peak popularity in 2010, but has been on a declining trajectory since 2009. In 2025, it ranked 4,352, with roughly 1 in 50,227 girls receiving the name. The name likely originated as a creative coinage, possibly combining the popular Kam- prefix from names like Kameron with the melodic -ia suffix, following a trend for distinctive feminine names. Its appeal lies in its soft sound and contemporary feel, though it remains a rare choice. The name has not been concentrated in any particular state, and its lack of established history or traditional etymology gives it a distinctly modern identity. Despite its rarity, Kamia fits stylistically with other modern names ending in -ia or -a, such as Malia, Aria, or Kamila, and pairs well with both classic and contemporary sibling names.
Kamia first appeared in United States birth records in 1973. It is likely a modern coinage, formed by combining a syllable like Kam- (from names such as Kameron or Kamille) with the fashionable suffix -ia. Its usage has been relatively rare, with its peak popularity occurring in 2010.
