Kija

Kija was a legendary king who brought Chinese civilization -- including rice and writing -- to the Korean people, probably in the 2nd century BC. Kija is also the name of a group of Aboriginal people in Australia. Though the original Kija was male, this name would work better for girls in the modern Western world.

Kija is also given to girls.

Pronounced KEE-juh.

As of October 2026, Kija ranked #17916 in US births in 2005 SSA, peaked at #10314 in 1997.
