I have a baby boy. He is 7 weeks old. We named him Kaya. I am of turkish origin and in turkish it means rock (strong & solid). The name is very much a boys name in Turkey. I do like the name because it has so many meanings in various cultures around the world.

my son is 21 months old. His full name is kaiaitz. it's basque, from the spanish side. we call him kaia for short. it means harbor and his full name means rock in the harbor. hopefully he will like it when he gets older.

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.
Be Careful with your choices!

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.

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!!
Cute name!!!

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.
Kai Soleil is my babies name
written by Sarah mueller, March 19, 2008
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
I love my name!!
written by Kaia, March 20, 2008
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!!
