About Moa
Moa was among the Top 100 Swedish baby names throughout the 2000s and 2010s, though it has since declined in use. Pronounced as MOO-ah in Sweden, it is virtually unknown in the US.
Could Moa make an interesting alternative to Maya or Mia — or would it always be pronounced to rhyme with Noah outside of a Swedish- speaking context? Possibly, but it nevertheless makes a sweet, succinct choice.
Swedish author Moa Martinson is a notable bearer of the name, while in Maori, it is used as the word for birds.
Moa is also given to boys.
Pronounced MOO-uh.
As of October 2026, Moa ranked #16512 in US births in 2025 SSA.
