Nya

Pronunciation: NIY-ə, NEE-ə (key)

Commentary on the name Nia:

Nia's like a compact SUV or a shot of espresso. It's a trim little burst of personality, perfectly suited to the moment. It has two independent origins, from a Swahili word meaning "goal" and from the Welsh form of the name Niamh.

From The Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg. Buy the book
