Doanya is in Origin.

Doanya is a rare modern given name, most plausibly a blended form. It echoes Persian/Arabic Donya/Dunyā (“world; earthly life”) while incorporating Anya, the Slavic pet form of Anna from Hebrew Hannah (“grace; favor”). As a result, Doanya is often interpreted as “grace of the world” or “life and grace.” The construction also aligns with contemporary Anglophone coinages like Do‑Anya or Do’Anya, making it a cross‑cultural choice with familiar elements yet a distinctive profile.

Usage of Doanya appears in late-20th and early‑21st‑century English‑speaking records and online name data, but it remains uncommon and lacks longstanding historical or religious associations. Parents may gravitate to it as a softer alternative to Donya or Dayana. Related and variant forms include Donya, Dunya, Donia/Dounia, Danya, Dania, Dayana, and stylized spellings Do‑Anya or Do’Anya. Possible nicknames are Nya, Anya, and Doa. The name’s semantics draw on two well-known roots: dunyā (worldly life) and Hannah/Anna (grace).
