Zia Origin and Meaning

The name Zia is a girl's name of Latin origin meaning "grain; light, splendor; aunt".

A short and zippy name that would blend right in with but also stand out among a group of girls named Mia, Gia, Lia and Tia. If you're searching for girl names that work in many cultures, this is an accessible yet distinctive choice. One caveat though: in an Italian-American family it would be strange to have a baby named Aunt.
