Meaning & Origin

A female given name from Latin.

Pia is a girl's baby name of Latin origin meaning 'pious' or 'reverent,' from the Latin pia, the feminine form of pius. It has been used across Italy, Scandinavia, Germany, and Spain for centuries, carrying a quiet devotion in its simple two letters.

Pia is one of those names that sounds both ancient and utterly modern. Short, clear, and full of gentle confidence, it's the name of a Roman mosaic and a Copenhagen design studio simultaneously. A name that travels the world without losing itself.
