Meaning & origin
Naziya first entered U.S. naming records in 2001, a relatively recent addition to the country's diverse name pool. Since then, it has seen modest use, reaching its peak rank of 7,885 in 2010. After a period of decline, the name has been rising again since 2019. As of 2025, approximately 1 in 123,636 newborn girls receives the name Naziya. The name's Arabic origins connect it to a broader tradition of names emphasizing pride and dignity, and it remains a distinctive choice among modern Muslim families.
Naziya is likely a feminine variant of the Arabic name Nazir, which means 'proud' or 'self-respecting'. It may also be related to the Arabic root n-z-r, conveying notions of pride and dignity. The name has been used in Muslim communities, particularly in South Asia, and gained some popularity in the United States beginning in the early 2000s.
