how do you pronounce Khiya? My guess is KEE-ya but i could be (and probably am) very off-track.

Rajah is an arabic name... which means 'Hope' it's not necessarely muslim both muslim and christian might held this name

Luckily you didn't spell it Khaya (or kaya). It means house in Southern African languages, and piccanini kaya means little house, in other words, outside lavatory or outhouse.

Rajah's simply the Indian title equivalent of "king" in English. For more on its history and etymology, click here: http://tinyurl.com/5edro.

As a personal name, perhaps Rajah's most famous bearer is Princess Jasmine's pet tiger in Disney's Aladdin.

I once read, that RAJAH as an Indian name is related to REX (Latin), e-RIC, and asteRIX and means "ruler".
