Posia is in Origin.

Posia is a modern feminine name, likely an embellished form of Posy/Posey, an English pet name from Middle English posy meaning “bunch of flowers” and, by extension, “short poem” or ring inscription. The term entered English via Anglo-Norman French poesie. In Romance languages poesía/poesia means “poetry,” a resemblance that reinforces Posia’s airy, artistic feel. As a given name it carries the dual sense of “bouquet” and “poetry.”

Posy functioned as an affectionate nickname in England from the 17th century, appears on so‑called posy rings, and features in British literature (Posy Fossil in Noel Streatfeild’s Ballet Shoes). It later saw modest standalone use in Britain and the U.S.; Posia itself remains very rare and contemporary. Variants and related forms include Posy, Posey, Posie, Poesy, and Poesia, with Posia serving as an elegant elaboration.
