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.
Zia is a beautiful, cool Arabic boys name. I've noticed how lots of Arabic names beginning with the letter 'z' are often stunning! (Arabic girl names such as Zara, Zahia, Zehra, Zoya, Zuleika, Zarina, Zaina, Zora...) & (Arabic male names such as Zayn, Zayd, Zaydan...)

I have also thought that this is a girls name. It's very pretty.
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 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.
