Zia is a beautiful, short but strong girl's name. I love it. If you have a really close relationship with your Aunt it could be used as a way to honor her. I love the name Zia and love the nickname Zee.

The Zia is the sun symbol on the New Mexico flag that came from the Zia pueblo. The four lines going out each direction on the flag represent the four seasons, the four directions, the four times of day and the four stages of life. The circle brings them together. It is a beautiful girl's name with awesome culture!

I don't really understand this current fascination with stealing every good boy name that has ever existed and using it for girls. Hint: just because a name ends with an 'A', it doesn't mean it's feminine. Parents, there are plenty of unique and beautiful names out there that are actually meant for girls, go use THOSE.

Zia is the main character in the romantic comedy "Wristcutters: A Love Story", which looks really good. He is a man. This name is cooler for a boy than a girl, though it is pretty for a girl, as well. It's just a better name for a boy.

Zia is one of my favourite names, but as a feminine name. It is beautiful and melodic without being complicated, and it has a great universal quality about it. It seems like it could come from a variety of cultures, not just Arabic.
