kamiyah is in Origin.

Kamiyah is a modern American feminine name, most likely an elaboration of Kamiya/Kamia shaped by African-American naming style. Its elements echo several languages: Kamiya is a Japanese surname (written 神谷) meaning “shrine/god valley”; Kimiya/Kimia is a Persian word and given name meaning “elixir”; and Kami may evoke Kamila/Kamilah, from Arabic Kāmilah “perfect, complete.” The -yah ending also resonates with the Hebrew theophoric -yah (“Yah, God”) seen in names like Nehemiah. Because of these layers, Kamiyah is interpreted variously as “perfect,” “precious elixir,” or with divine overtones, rather than having one fixed traditional meaning.

In the United States the name emerged in the late 1990s and rose through the 2000s alongside Aaliyah- and -iyah-ending trends. Common variants and spellings include Kamiya, Kamiah, Kamia, Kamya, Kamaiyah, and Ka’Miyah. Short forms include Kami and Mia.
