Around the world, דאיה (Daya , Daiya , Daja ) is a widespread unisex forename. The first name דאיה is habitual in India, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, Qatar, where it is quite a common dominantly boy's, but uncommonly girly name, and Iraq, where it is quite a rare epicene name. Measured by absolute frequency, this name is the most popular in India, Iraq, and Indonesia. Very seldom, דאיה is the last name as well as the forename.
דאיה is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Daiya Irma , the fictional character from 86 and Daja Kisubo , the character in the Circle of Magic and The Circle Opens quartets and the standalone novel The Will of the Empress by Tamora Pierce.
