I know the name to be from the Estonian and Norwegian languages. It is short for Katariina.

Kaia Gerber made this name seem so stylish and beautiful to me! Kaia and Caia have two different feels to me, I can't decide which I like better.

I love the meaning of this name!!! I would use this spelling if used as a first, but definitely like the softer looking Caia more.

I prefer this spelling over Kaya. Kaia just seems more sophisticated.
