Imiah is English in Origin.

Imiah is a modern given name that emerged in English-speaking communities in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It reads as a creative fusion of Mia/Miah with the initial I, echoing contemporary coinages and the biblical -iah ending familiar from names like Jeremiah or Nehemiah. Usage remains rare and largely feminine, though it can be used unisex, appearing sporadically in recent U.S. and U.K. birth records.

Meanings are interpretive rather than fixed. Many connect Imiah to Mia, a diminutive of Maria and a Romance word meaning "mine," yielding senses of affection or "beloved." Others hear an echo of Swahili Imani ("faith") or appreciate the spiritual resonance of the theophoric -iah, associated with "Yah(weh)." Variants and near-relations include Imia, Imiya, Imaya, Emiah, and Amiah; nicknames range from Imi to Mia/Miah. Pronunciations commonly include ih-MY-uh and ih-MEE-uh.
