Makhia, of African origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name. It is derived from the Swahili word 'makhya,' which means 'queen.' This moniker carries a regal and powerful aura, befitting its root meaning.
The name Makhia peaked in popularity between 2002 and 2004 with a significant number of births occurring during these years. However, the trend shows a steady decline since then, reaching an all-time low in recent years with only single-digit births recorded annually from 2016 onwards.
