Panya Origin and Meaning

The name Panya is a girl's name of Swahili, Russian, African origin meaning "mouse, tiny one; or, crowned one".

Panya is a multicultural possibility with a sound that's pleasing to the English-speaking ear, though the Swahili translation, which might also be "rat," makes it less than savory as an African name.
