About Masiah
No longer a forbidden choice, Messiah has risen up the US popularity charts in recent years, and as a result, some parents have been seeking alternative spelling options. Masiah is one such choice, though it may also link more closely with the Arabic word for Christ, almasih. Given to around 80 boys each year, it is considerably less popular than Messiah, which was chosen for 1909 boys in 2023.
Masiah is also given to girls.
Pronounced muh-SY-uh.
As of October 2026, Masiah ranked #12050 for girls in US births in 2019 and #2273 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #8741 for girls in 2009 and #1647 for boys in 2022.
