Keyah is in Origin.

Keyah is a modern feminine given name with layered origins. In Diné Bizaad (Navajo), kéyah means “land, homeland, earth,” and the name can express ties to place, stewardship, and belonging. In South Asian use, Keya (Bengali/Hindi) refers to the fragrant screwpine flower (ketaki); the -h in Keyah is an English spelling flourish. Related and variant forms include Kéyah, Keya, Keeya, Keah, Kiyah, Kiya, and the cognate-sounding Kaya.

As a personal name it appears primarily in late 20th- and 21st-century records in North America, with occasional use in Native families and among parents drawn to nature words and -yah endings. Its cross-cultural echoes allow multiple readings - earth, home, or blossom - while remaining uncommon. The name’s flexible spelling has encouraged individualized forms without altering the core associations of groundedness and natural beauty.
