Kia

The African girl’s name Kia means “hill” or “mountain,” and it stems from the short form of Kiara. Just like a mountain standing tall unweathered by the elements that come its way, your little one will stand their ground against any odds in their life. This name is also recognized in Welsh, where it means “keeper of the keys.” So if you like the sound of your Kia being as strong as a mountain or a protector of sacred things, then this name is for you!
