Meaning & History

Short form of IAKOB and ILIA. In some cases, it might also be derived from the Arabic name YAHYA, which is written as იაჰია (Iahia) in Georgian.

This given name is rare today, but it was common in the 9th century.

Known Georgian bearers of this name include the composer Ilia "Ia" Kargareteli (1867-1939) and the writer Ia Ekaladze (1872-1933).
