Jamiya is a female first name.
Jamiya is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,977 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,976 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jamiya.
Jamiya is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Jamiya cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #942 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2008. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Jamiya, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Jamiya seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
