Nykia, of Latin origin, signifies "victory of the people". It's a unisex name that gained prominence in the United States during the late 20th century. Pronounced as /NYE-kee-ə/, it offers a unique blend of traditional and modern styles, making it both timeless and distinctive.
The name Nykia had a significant boom in popularity during the mid-1990s, with over 70 births recorded in both 1994 and 1995. However, its usage has been declining steadily since then, dropping to single-digit figures in recent years, such as just 5 births in 2018 and 8 in 2019. Despite this decline, over the course of four decades, from 1974 to 2019, a total of 993 babies were named Nykia.
