Nasiah
Nasiah Origin and Meaning
Nasiah appears to be a modern name with multiple possible derivations. It may be related to the Hebrew prophet name Isaiah, with the "Na-" prefix replacing the "I-" beginning. Alternatively, it could connect to Arabic names containing "nasi" (meaning "helper" or "supporter") or Hebrew "nasi" (meaning "prince" or "leader"). The name emerged in American usage primarily in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Nasiah has a melodic quality with its alternating consonant-vowel pattern and can be used for both boys and girls, though it appears to be more common as a feminine name. The spelling variations might include Nasya, Nasiah, or Nasyah. The name's popularity has shown a gradual increase in the 2000s and 2010s but remains relatively uncommon.
