Comments and insights on the name Lia

I like this spelling the best. A good sibling name choice is Vivian

Ali, Ila and Lia are anagrams of each other; they contain the same letters.

Lia is an awesome nickname for any girl's name containing 'lia'.

I much prefer Lia over Leah.

Personal experiences with the name Lia

I love this spelling! My daughter's name is Lia Kate, which we weren't sure about it first, but love it now. Lia is three weeks old.

Growing up, my best friend's name was Lia. I would consider naming a girl after her.

I changed my name from Lisa to Lia to sound younger 10 years ago. I now know 3 people who have named their baby this (and not as a shortened nickname, but Lia as the given name). This name is hot!

Meanings and history of the name Lia

Lia is also a Greek name meaning "bearer of good news," and a form of Leah in several Romance languages. It also means dependent in Hebrew, Italian and Dutch.
EDIT: Lia in itself does not mean "bearer of good news" in greek. It is one nickname of Evangelia or Ευαγγελία (ευ = good, αγγελία = announcement), which basically means good news, and refers to a biblical event.

Sincerely,
a girl named Evangelia
