Giah is in Origin.

Giah (pronounced JEE-uh) is a modern given name, most often feminine, that functions as a creative respelling of Gia. Gia itself is the Italian short form of Gianna/Giovanna, feminine forms related to Giovanni, all ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning “God is gracious.” Because of this lineage, Giah commonly carries the same benedictive meaning. It can also serve as a compact nickname for various Gi‑ names (Gianna, Giana, Giada, Georgia).

In English-speaking use, Gia rose in the late 20th century (helped by model-actress Gia Carangi), with Giah appearing as a 21st‑century variant. Related forms and variants include Gia, Giahh (rare), Giana, Gianna, Giovanna; pet forms include Gigi. Cross‑cultural echoes broaden its appeal: Jiya (often transliterated Jia) in South Asia means “heart; life,” and Giah occurs as a little‑known biblical place near Gibeon with uncertain etymology. Overall, Giah is contemporary and sleek, with roots that point back to “God is gracious.”
