Comments for the name Zyanya

So pretty and such a lovely meaning!

I love learning Native American names. I wouldn't use them as first names because I'm not Native American but as middle names I would. Zyanya is a really pretty name.

The actual full meaning is 'a declaration of one's undying love and respect for each other' in a shorter version; always and forever. It's from an Aztec tribe called the Cloud People. She was the daughter of the king and queen (therefore she was a princess.)

I used this name in a short story I wrote, and it caught people's attention becouse you didn't hear it every day. I love it!

I think the meaning is beautiful, and so is the name- but I'd like to know the proper pronunciation. Is it said the way it's spelled?

Means "Always, Forever" People think that it comes from the language Nahuatl, but in reality it is from a nation called the Mixtecs located in central Mexico, Mixtecs means "the cloud people" and the language is totally different from Nahuatl.
The term Mixtec (Mixteco in Spanish) comes from the Nahuatl word Mixtecapan, or "place of the cloud-people". The area in which Mixtec is spoken is known as the Mixteca. The Mixtecs call themselves "ñuu savi".

My name is Zyanya and you pronounce it SEE-ON-JA. My mom read this name in a book, I'm not sure what book it is, but Zyanya is a princess and it means forever and always.

I love this name! It is so pretty and unique and I have never heard of it before. Until now!

It's Zapoteco, not Nahuatl. [noted -ed]
