Greek origin maybe, but then it's a kreativ spelling. Here in South (and southern) Africa it is pronounced Kigh-a all right, but it means a little house - specifically an outhouse on a farm or up a mountain trail, with a lavatory in it. One to avoid, I think. (Slang for any lavatory used to be PK, which was short for Picannini Kaia = tiny little house and was used exactly like the more ubiquitous loo.
