Carmia is a rare feminine given name that grows from the Carm‑ family of names. It is most often treated as an elaboration of Carmen/Carmel, drawing on two deep roots: Latin carmen “song, poem” and Hebrew Karmel “garden, vineyard,” the title behind Our Lady of Mount Carmel. In Hebrew contexts it also aligns with Carmi (a biblical name meaning “my vineyard”), and the variant Carmiya/Karmia is interpreted as “Yah(weh)’s vineyard.” Because of these strands, Carmia is commonly glossed as “song” or “vineyard, orchard.”

Used in English since the late 20th century, Carmia remains uncommon but appears in the United States, South Africa, and Israel.
