About Asya
Asya has dual origins: it is both the Turkish word for Asia (the continent), and a short form of Anastasia in Russian and Bulgarian. Beyond that, it is a beautiful example of a "travelling light" name, in the style of Aria: short, elegant, and usable across different cultures.
Pronounced AHS-yuh.
As of October 2026, Asya ranked #3401 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1587 in 2001.
