Apparently it's also Basque for wave or sea foam.

Pretty, short and sweet but impactful name. One of my friends is nicknamed Naia, short for Natasha, which I think is quite refreshing and unexpected. Like Maya/Maia, I definitely prefer this Naia spelling to Naya or any other variant-- it just looks more aesthetically pleasing to me.

I couldn't stand this name because of the many spelling variations of it where I live but when Gemma Ward used it for her baby I changed my mind. I think it's so cool now.
