"AMAYA" is listed in this site as the japanese feminine name. But,
I've never heard such a strange first name. What's the source of it?
There are several family names pronounced AMA-YA in japan.
AMA means "heaven/sky", "traditional fisherman or fisherwoman who dives in sea to catch fish or shellfish without scuba", "nun",
or "flax".
In some cases, AMA is variant of AME, whic means "heaven/sky" or "rain". "YA" has many meaning, e.g. "house", "valley", and "night".
