Pure, faithful, or clear
Nakiah is a modern name likely derived from the Arabic name Naqiya, meaning pure or clean, or as a variant of the Hebrew name Nakia. It has gained some usage in the United States as a rhythmic, contemporary choice with spiritual undertones. Its exact etymology is often debated, sometimes linked to the Swahili word for 'pure'.
