Unknown; possibly a modern variation of Niamh or Nyame
The exact etymology of Niamya is unclear, as it is a rare modern creation. It may be a rhythmic elaboration of the Irish name Niamh, meaning 'bright', or influenced by the Akan deity Nyame, meaning 'God'. In contemporary usage, it is often chosen for its melodic, multi-syllabic sound.
