Miia

Miia is a feminine given name primarily used in Finland. It is considered a Finnish form of Mia, which itself is derived from Maria.

In Finland, Miia has been a relatively common name in recent decades, reflecting the broader use of Maria-derived forms for girls. The name is often given without any religious or cultural implication beyond its connection to Maria.

Pronunciation is roughly mee-ya, with the emphasis on the first syllable. The exact sound can vary slightly in other Nordic languages or immigrant communities, but the Finnish form remains the most common reference.

In popular culture, Miia appears as a character in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, where Miia is a lamia who becomes Kobayashi’s household resident and ally. The name is also used in various works of fiction and among real individuals, particularly in Finland, where it remains a familiar given name.
