Meaning & origin
Khaliya is a modern invented name first appearing in U.S. records in 1995. Its peak came in 2015, but since 2016 its usage has been falling. Currently ranked 10,917th, it remains relatively rare: about 1 in every 200,908 newborn girls receives this name. The name has not been concentrated in any particular state, reflecting its scattered national profile. It fits a pattern of feminine names ending in '-iya' that emerged in the late 20th century.
Khaliya first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1995, a period when many invented names with the '-iya' suffix gained popularity, likely influenced by names like Aaliyah and Kahlia. No clear derivation from a single language or tradition is established, and it is best understood as a modern coinage.
