Carmaniah is in Origin.

Carmaniah is a modern, spiritually inflected given name, likely formed in English from Semitic and Romance elements. The base Carm- may echo Hebrew Karmel (“garden, vineyard”) - the source of Carmel and Carmella - or Latin Carmen (“song”), while the suffix -iah is the Hebrew theophoric ending meaning “of Yahweh.” Taken together, the name can be read as “Yahweh’s vineyard/garden” or “song of the Lord,” depending on which root is preferred.

Documented use is very rare and largely contemporary, with no evidence of medieval or biblical bearers; it appears in creative naming alongside Carmel, Carmen, and the biblical Anaiah. Variants and spellings include Carmania, Carmaniyah, Karmaniah, Carminiah; short forms might be Cara, Carmi, and Nia. Though it visually recalls Carmania, the classical name for Iran’s Kerman region, that connection is likely coincidental and not the source of the given name’s meaning.
