*A Lexicon of Personal Greek Names* has collected all Greek names found in literature, inscriptions, graffiti, papyri, coins, vases and other artefacts), from the earliest Greek written records down to the sixth century A.D. Of the 22,346 recorded women , there are records for only 2 women called Ia. Quite rare even back then :)

The name Ia is quite possibly related to *iasthai* meaning "to heal".
