The name Lia is either a variant of Leah or Leia, or a shortened form of names ending in -lia, such as Rosalia and Julia. Therefore, it can mean anything from "weary," "grieved," "flowers" or "cow." Lia first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in 1966, but didn't crack the top-500 for the first time until 2008. It has now been a top-250 girl's name every year since 2022 and appears to be growing at a rapid pace as it nears closer to the top-200.
