Jakia is of Arabic origin, meaning 'intelligent' or 'wise'. It is a unisex name but is more commonly used for girls. The name's popularity has grown steadily in recent years, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa regions.
"Jakia experienced a significant peak in popularity around the late 1980s to mid-1990s, with over 50 births recorded each year from 1989 to 1997. However, its usage has steadily declined since then, dropping below 20 births per year after 2006."
