Noya

A popular choice in Israel, Noya shares the appeal of Kaya, Maya, and Nia, while also having its own distinctive sound. Derived from the Hebrew noi, it means "beauty" or "ornament", although sometimes it may be listed as meaning "beauty of God", if the ending interpreted as the Hebrew yah.

Noya is also a Cherokee name, translating to "sand", though it may also relate to the Biblical Noa, meaning "comfortable", to the Persian no and Urdu niya meaning "new", or to the Russian name, Noyabrina, meaning "November".

Pronounced NOY-uh.

As of October 2026, Noya ranked #6053 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #5093 in 2024.
