Across the world, Woya (Woya 
) is a rare principally girly, but very seldom male given name. The first name Woya is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Ethiopia, where it is a rare female name, Tanzania, where it is a very rare boy's name, and Nigeria, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Very seldom, Woya is the last name as well as the forename.
