Nakiyah is an attractive, unique, and modern given name of African American origin. Derived from the Arabic word "Na'ciyah," which means "pure" or "chaste," Nakiyah has gained popularity in recent years as a stylish alternative to more traditional names. It consists of five letters: N-a-k-i-y-a-h, each pronounced clearly and distinctly for an elegant sound. Spelling variations include Nakya, Nakaya, and Nakihya, but the original spelling, Nakiyah, remains the most popular. This name is often chosen by parents seeking a distinctive yet approachable moniker for their daughters.
The name Nakiyah experienced significant popularity during its peak years but has since seen a steady decline in usage.
