Origin of the name Miya

The name Miya has three versions of origin. According to one version, Mia is a shortened version of the name Maria, which took root in Scandinavian countries, where short forms of Christian names often became independent names. The opinion that Mia is an ancient native Scandinavian name is not confirmed by sources; it is not mentioned anywhere as an independent form until the 19th century. It is then fixed as the main and second female name in Denmark and Sweden, and then in Norway and Finland.

According to another version, Mia is the Italian and Spanish pronoun “mia”.

The third version explains the origin of the name Mia (Mia) as a short name for the names Amelia, Maya, Mariam.

The Japanese name Miya (Mi Ya) with the meaning “7 arrows” is not related to the origin of the European name. The Miya variant is the Russified form of the name Mia.

The popularity of the name rose sharply after the appearance in Hollywood of a 70s star named Mia (Maria) Farrow. Now this name is among the top most popular female names in the West, especially in Scandinavia, Ireland and the USA.

Meaning and characteristics of the name Miya

If we consider the name Miya as short for Maria, Mariam, Amelia, Maya, then the meaning will be similar to the full name.

But if Mia is an independent name with Latin roots, derived from the Spanish and Italian pronoun “mia,” then it means “mine.” This was the name of the most beloved and dear girls. The figurative meaning is “my beloved”, “my treasure”.

Mia in her childhood is like a dolphin: an active, kind and mischievous little girl who radiates love and positivity. As an adult, one becomes calmer, more feminine, more immersed in oneself, not so often gushing emotions into the outside world.

He studies depending on his mood, either good or bad. But he will thoroughly understand everything he likes. Mia’s addictive nature is always in search of an object of desire and interest. Can become an avid collector, an expert in his field. Likes to read, draw, communicate with close friends. She has her own world, comfortable, a little naive, but very amazing.

She will retain this quality – surrounding herself with a comfortable environment, building the world around her according to her own rules – into adulthood. This gives Mia such a rare philosophy these days: “Don’t worry! Be happy!” and peace of mind that harmonizes not only herself, but also those around her.

Outwardly, Mia is sweet, graceful, feminine without leaning towards seductiveness. But for all her external fluffiness and charm, she is a real flint inside. Stubborn and persistent, but not out of harm, but out of conviction that she is right. Qualities such as responsibility, perseverance and hard work help her achieve her life and career goals.

Very sensitive, vulnerable, prone to empathy, with highly developed intuition and imagination, Mia can become an excellent actress, musician, and teacher. But at the same time, she is capable of serious professions: doctor, economist, lawyer, entrepreneur, scientist, journalist.

Mia’s charm will leave a rare man indifferent; many people like her and can evoke deep and fatal feelings. She herself prefers intellectual and serious, down-to-earth partners. She will marry only for love. Perhaps more than once. A sensitive and caring mother, she will try to run the house neatly for the sake of the children. She herself is indifferent to everyday life.

Name days:

Mia does not have a name day, but any name day of St. Mary can be celebrated, for example, September 21 in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary or May 17 in honor of St. Mary Magdalene.
