Kaviya
Meaning
poetry, an epic poem (from Sanskrit kavya). The -iya spelling is the Tamil romanization that separates it from the pan-Indian Kavya; a staple for Tamil girls born in the 1990s and 2000s, so it now reads as a young-professional generation name rather than a baby name in Tamil Nadu, while diaspora parents still pick it for its easy two-way pronunciation
Popularity, 1890–2024
Kaviya does not appear in US Social Security baby-name records, which list only names given to at least five babies in a year. There is no popularity curve to chart: a genuinely rare pick.
