Masia is a modern, predominantly feminine yet increasingly unisex given name with cross-cultural resonance. Etymologically it is often explained as a streamlined form of the Hebrew Maaseiah/Maasiah (Ma'aseyahu), a biblical name meaning "work of Yah(weh)" or "made by God." Maaseiah appears multiple times in the Hebrew Bible, among priests and Levites in Chronicles, Nehemiah, and Jeremiah, and later entered English in learned spellings, from which Masia emerges as a sleek contemporary variant.

Beyond the Hebrew root, the name also carries appealing associations elsewhere. In Catalan and Spanish, masia denotes a traditional rural farmhouse and survives as a surname in Catalonia and Sardinia, occasionally inspiring given-name use. In African Christian contexts, related forms like Masiya/Mesiah echo "Messiah," nudging modern spellings such as Masia and Masiyah.
