My daughter's name is Kaiya, which we found in a movie from the 80's called Willow. Everyone in the family hated it at first but, now she is 6yrs old and I can't think of anyother name that would be suitable for her. As for the middle name we went with Raine.

My daughter's name is Kayah (pronounced kay-a not Kai- a) meaning earth in some texts in Navajo. My husband is Navajo and this is his Indian name. My daughter's Indian name is Nizhoni (niz- joni) which means beautiful in Navajo which her paternal grandfather named her when she was 3 months old. Many sources say the name Kaya is Hopi meaning sister or elder sister and they are INCORRECT!!! Please do your research if you want a name that means what you think it means. Kaya (pronounced kai-a) is actually Nez Perce and it does not mean sister.

I LOVE MY NAME! and I take pride in it, which not many people can say. when i meet some new people and they ask my name, yes i have to say it many times, SO WHAT! it starts a conversation doesnt it? and some people even say they like it!

My neice (born oct 3rd 07) was names kaya which is not a very common name actually ive never heard it before until my sisters husband pointed it out to me. we are 100 percent polish and i guess there is some famous polish actress/singer with the name spelled kayah....but h is usually of jewish decent so we hacked it and it just suits her apparently it means " Adds a place of resting" but she isn't giving anyone any rest!!

I am writing a book and i am looking for a japanese name.I think Kaya is my first choice!!!

since my name is unique i want my kids to have unique names. if i have a daughter her name is gonna be kaya. all the way

Today I learned that my name is beautiful. I am very happy that my parents named me Kaja. It may be a weird name but it makes me happy knowing my daddy picked it. I love it!!

I randomly picked this name 3 years ago for a roleplay, simply thinking it sounded/looked cool, and now as I randomly search for baby names to help my friend with her story, what should be the first name to appear where I look? KAYA! It made me laugh and now I know what it means

my son who is 16 is named kaya, we named him kaya becouse me and my wife both like bob marley, and like the song also, its got a lot of diffrent meanings around the world, all good, so why did my son want to be called adam? thats just crazy, isnt it? its not just a girls name, its a strong mannly name.

I love the person who named their child kaiya Raine wondering if they wanted to go with a name that had meaning to it I thought about Kaia which means earth before settling on just Kai which means Ocean and Soleil which means Sun

my name is kaia and its from norweigan origin. its means pure of heart. growing up i wish my name was different because no one could ever say it right the first time so i always had to say time and time again till they would get it right. but now that i'm older, i've learned to love it because its so different and it gives me a better reason to want to stand out and be different!!

I've actually seen "Kaiya" a lot more often. Kaiya means forgiveness. I've seen "Kaya" as a variant, but they don't mean the same thing. Anybody know why?

It is a very nice name. It can be very feminine, but it can be molded to a tomboy fit. I really like this name. Especially because I know someone named "Kaia"/ "Kaya".

We named our daughter Kaya in 2003, and we love her name and so does she! Her older sister's name is Macy and we wanted another unique name, and came across Kaya in the wee hours of the morning in my 7th month. We do get some people saying Kay-a, but I remind them if her name began with an M you would say Maya not May-a, also tell them to spell kayak and take off the last k.... She also LOVES the fact that she has an American Girl doll with her name, considering her sister has a store with her name!!

Me and my partner named our 7month old little boy Kaiya, we also got it from the Bob Marley song Kaya, we both liked it and tried lots of different ways of spelling it before settling for Kaiya.
I had never heard the name before but as soon as he was born i heard it all the time! when i tell people his name they think hes a girl lol. it is a beautiful name and i coulnt imagine him called anything else. now i want to have a girl and am stuck for names as we were going to call our 1st child kaiya anyway weather they were a boy or a girl.
