What Does the Name Makhia Mean?
Makhia is a feminine given name whose meaning is not securely established. One explanation treats it as a variant of Makia, from the Arabic feminine nisba Makkiyya (مكية), meaning "Meccan" or "from Mecca." Makkiyya is formed from Makka (مكة), the Arabic name for Mecca, plus the feminine suffix -iyya. The spelling does not match the usual transliteration of the Arabic form, so this derivation is possible but not certain.
Makhia Name History & Origins
The Arabic nisba Makkiyya is a feminine adjective of origin, paired with the masculine Makki. It identifies a person or thing as Meccan, and the related terms Makki and Madani classify Quranic surahs by their Meccan or Medinan setting. The English spelling Makhia does not follow the usual transliteration of Makkiyya, and its exact route into English is not well documented. It should not be confused with the Hawaiian word makai, "toward the sea," which has a different spelling and source.
