Modern invented name; possibly a variant of Takia or Taquiah.
Takyah is a contemporary American name with uncertain roots, likely created for its rhythmic sound. It may be a creative spelling of the Arabic name Takia, which means 'pious' or 'righteous,' or a variation of the name Kaya with a prefix. Because it is rare and modern, it lacks a singular historical etymology.
