Althiaa Origin and Meaning

The name Althiaa is a girl's name.

Althiaa appears to be a variant spelling of Althea, a name with ancient Greek origins. The classical name Althea derives from the Greek word "althein," meaning "to heal" or "healing power." In Greek mythology, Althea was the mother of Meleager. This alternative spelling with the double 'a' creates a more distinctive, elaborate version of the traditional name. Althiaa remains extremely rare as a given name, likely appealing to parents who appreciate the classical roots of Althea but desire something more unique. The added vowel creates a flowing quality that emphasizes the name's melodic nature. While standard Althea has seen modest usage throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Althiaa has remained largely undiscovered, making it an uncommon choice for parents seeking a name with ancient origins and a contemporary spelling twist.
