Kaya

Native origin meaning ‘beauty’

Unisex name

Pronounced similar to “Kay-yah” or K-yah

( not like the actress from maze runner or skins, that’s more the western pronunciation)

Ps. Will probably spend majority of their school life and work life correcting teacher’s and people’s pronunciation, and will probably give up and decide to go by a nickname or the their middle name

Kaya: um it’s actually pronounced kaya
Person: isn’t that what I said

Kaya: no you said Kayla, it pronounced ‘kay-yah’
Person: Kaiya?

Kaya: you know what just call me k or by my middle name grace
