Comments for the name Kaia

Kaia can also be an alternate form of the name 'Gaia,' which is most commonly known as Gaea, a Greek Titan.

Cindy Crawford has a young daughter named Kaia Jordan.

I love the name Kaia, it´s so pretty. Kaia is my favourite spelling of the name, I don´t like Kaja and Kaya that much and especially not Kya.

Pronounced KY-a or KAY-a, I have seen the meaning being either Greek or Scandinavian meaning earth or Hawaiian meaning sea.

Actress Rosa Blasi (Strong Medicine) gave birth to a little girl named Kaia Jane. I personally LOVE this name.

This name has grown on me, it's actually quite pretty. I would spell it this way and pronounce it KY-a.

This name is too pretty. I just love it.

'Kaia' is a simple, but lovely name. It sounds like the name of a little girl who is cute and loves helping people!

Kaia also means Pure.

Kaia is also an African name meaning "diamond in the sky".

Kaia doesn't mean "diamond in the sky". That's a made-up meaning, probably inspired by the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". I believe the true meaning of Kaia is the one listed on this site. Be aware that many baby name sites make up meanings that they think will appeal to parents.

This is my all-time favorite female name. Simple, beautiful, and not very common. I also love that it's derived from Katherine, one of my other favorite names.

I love the name Kaia! Though, I myself personally prefer Kyah. One of my best friends is Kyah Noelle-and I think it is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL combo. Its sweet, mature but not harsh, and is full of spunk and originality. My friend Kyah is the only Kyah I know or have heard of. I'm glad it's not too popular, because this is a name where some of its beauty is spawned from the pure originality.

I am from Norway and Kaia actually means "dock" in Norwegian (just Google "på Kaia" which means on dock and look at the images) so I'll always associate the name with that but for non Norwegian speaking people this is a nice name. :)

Kai'a also is Hawaiian and means the fish.

I really don't like this name at all. The sound of it seem clunky. This spelling is pretty, but all others (especially when they incorporate a y) seem a bit tacky to me. It's gaining momentum in popularity as well, so I imagine in a few years it's going to become pretty overused.

Kaia is the daughter of American supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber.

Short and sweet. Love this name, especially, the spelling!

Kaia is a name from a lot of cultures (usually variants like Kaya or Kai). It means "The sea" (Norwegian and Hawaiian [Kai]), "A restful place", "Forgiveness", "Home" (or earth, in reference to it's possible link to Gaia) or "wise child" and "one with a beautiful profile"
It is linked with Japanese, Zulu, Hopi and Hindi, but I'm not sure which meanings go with each culture.

I've been in love with this name for years because of it's sound and meanings.

This name is cute for a little girl, but doesn't grow up well. I have a hard time imagining a 45 year old woman named Kaia without laughing.

Kaia is also a Hawaiian name that means 'the sea'.
