Keyia is of African origin, specifically from the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria. It means "the Lord has done well." The name is typically pronounced as KEY-ya. It was traditionally used for females but can now be considered unisex. Keyia's popularity peaked in the late 20th century and early 21st century, particularly among African-American communities in the United States. In recent years, its usage has declined slightly but remains relatively uncommon compared to other names.
"Keyia experienced peak popularity with 10 births in 1975, but has since been steady at 5 births per year from 1993 onwards, totaling 68 births."
