Camya is in Origin.

Camya is a modern feminine given name found primarily in the United States. Linguistically, it is often treated as a respelling of Kamya/Kamiya, from Sanskrit kāmyā “desirable, wished-for,” while its initial Cam- also echoes Camila/Camilla and the popular -ya ending of names like Amaya or Aaliyah. Taken together, Camya conveys a sense of something desired or longed for.

Usage rose in the U.S. from the late 1990s onward, particularly among African-American families; it remains rare in formal records outside North America. Variant spellings include Kamya, Kamiya, Kamiyah, Camiya, Camiyah, Camaya, and less commonly Khamya; related forms include Amya and Maya. The name’s modern formation means it has no single traditional saint or literary bearer, yet it fits the contemporary preference for smooth, vowel-rich -ya endings and gentle Cam- openings. Overall meaning remains “desirable, wished-for,” with a modern American flair.
