Ziya Origin and Meaning

The name Ziya is a girl's name.

Ziya is a cross-cultural feminine name with multiple origins. In Turkish, it means "light, splendor, or radiance" and is traditionally used for both genders. In Arabic contexts, it relates to brightness or brilliance, while in Indian usage (sometimes spelled Ziya or Zia), it carries similar luminous meanings. The name has gained modest international popularity in recent decades, appreciated for its brevity, melodic quality, and meaningful associations with light and enlightenment. Its cross-cultural appeal makes it suitable for multicultural families or those seeking a name that works well across different languages and traditions.
