Meaning & origin
Zniyah is a modern American coinage that entered birth records in 2003, a time when inventive -iah and -yah endings were on the rise. The name reached its peak usage in 2024, showing a steady but very low level of use decade over decade, with the 2020s seeing its highest numbers so far. It is overwhelmingly given to girls, and it has not been recorded in any state's top lists, remaining a rare choice nationwide. The name's appeal lies in its melodic sound and contemporary feel, free from traditional etymological baggage.
