- Source: Mya (given name)
Mya is a primarily feminine given name of uncertain origins. One source considers it to be a 20th-century phonetic spelling of the name Maya or Mia, names that have multiple, different meanings and origins in different languages. The American poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, born Marguerite, is said to have acquired her nickname as a child when her brother referred to her as "mya sister". Mya is also a Burmese name of a different origin, said by one source to mean emerald, in use for both sexes.
Usage
The name has been ranked among the top one thousand names for newborn girls in the United States since 1997 and was among the two hundred most used names for American girls between 1999 and 2018.
