Zamia is an uncommon but captivating female given name of Latin origin, derived from the ancient Roman family name Samius or Samnius. The name Zamia is also associated with the Zamia genus of plants in botany, particularly notable for their palm-like appearance and growth habits. It has gained limited popularity as a baby girl's name in recent decades, appealing to parents who seek distinctive yet not overly eccentric names for their daughters.
"Zamia saw a notable rise in popularity over the years, with the most notable spikes occurring around 2006 (20 births) and 2021 (21 births). However, it appears to have been less favored during the early 2000s."
