Meaning and history
Aniya is a modern feminine name with several possible sources. It may be a variant of Anya, from Anna and ultimately Hebrew “grace,” or a modern English formation influenced by names such as Aaliyah and Nia. Similar forms also occur in Arabic and South Asian communities with different spellings in their original scripts. The Latin spelling alone cannot establish one meaning. A notable bearer is Swiss professional boxer Aniya Seki. Family and linguistic context remain essential.
