Meaning & origin
Khiana is a relatively rare modern name that emerged in the late 1970s, first recorded in 1977. It reached its peak usage in 1994, though it has never been widespread. As of 2025, it ranks 14,942, with approximately 1 in every 321,453 girls named Khiana. The name has remained stable in recent years, neither sharply rising nor falling. Its origins are unclear, but it appears to be a creative variation of names like Kiana, possibly influenced by the fashionable 'K-' initial and the '-iana' suffix seen in names like Ariana or Brianna. Khiana does not have strong ties to any particular state or region, as it has not been among the most popular names in any state.
Khiana first appeared in U.S. records in the late 1970s and is likely a modern coinage, possibly a variant of Kiana or a blend of names like Kai and Ana. It does not have a clear historical or linguistic derivation from established naming traditions.
