Takaya, pronounced Ta-ka-yah, is of Japanese origin and means "sea turnips". This rare and unique name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among parents seeking distinctive names for their children. Takaya is often associated with the sea and nature, due to its meaning and Japanese roots. It consists of two parts: "taka" which means high or tall, and "ya" which signifies a field or meadow. Thus, Takaya can be interpreted as a poetic representation of an expansive ocean landscape or a lofty, open meadow.
The name Takaya had a peak of popularity with 12 births recorded in 2002. However, it has been steadily declining since then, with fewer than 7 births per year from 2003 onwards. The total number of births registered as Takaya over these years is 78.
