Modern creation, possibly related to Jeremiah or Jemiah
Jemya is a modern American name likely created by combining the prefix 'Je-' with the name Maya or as a variation of the biblical name Jemiah. It follows the contemporary trend of rhythmic, liquid-sounding names ending in '-ya'. Because it is a relatively recent invention, it does not have a single established etymological root.
