Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME AMIYA

Amiya appeared on the American female naming charts for the first time this century in the year 2000. The name did increase in usage for the first few years but appears to be reversing her course more recently. Not surprisingly. Amiya has a ton of competition with all the “-iya” and “-iyah” names in circulation today. Whatever syllable you can think of has already been put in front of “-iya(h)” at this point. We hope no one comes up with Dariyah, though. Sounds too much like diarrhea. Amiya comes across as a fancier version of names like Amy and Mia. It’s pretty and soft sounding, yet very American and inventive.
