Meaning & Story

A short, bright name - possibly from the Swahili kia meaning power or season, or used as a variant of Kea or other short names. Kia is clean and modern with a simple, confident sound.

Kia is a name that is exactly the right size - not too small, not trying too hard. Clean and confident, it suits a quick, capable girl who does not need a lot of fuss to make an impression. Kia gets things done. She is the first to figure out the puzzle toy, the last to back down from anything interesting, and she has earned everyone's quiet respect.
