The new Maia, the next Kayla, Kaia has been on the charts since the year 2000, and is now at number 368. You might see it as a female form of the also-rising Kai, which means sea in Hawaiian and is sometimes used for girls as well, or as a Kardashianization of the ancient goddess name Caia.
Supermodel Cindy Crawford named her daughter Kaia in 2001.
