Simple names have their appeal, but Aya, barely more than a breath, maybe be too simple. It has ranked in the US Top 1000 four of the past five years after debuting in 2012.
In the entertainment industry, Aya has two international bearers: Aya Korem, an Israeli singer-songwriter, and Aya Liu, a Taiwanese actress. Aya is also a Danish name (a creative spelling of Aja) and is now in the Top 50 in that country.
