Dejia
Meaning of Dejia
Dejia is a feminine given name of contemporary American usage, first attested in Social Security records in 1989 with nine registrations, rising to a modest apex of twenty-eight occurrences (rank 851) in 1998 before gradually declining to seven registrations (rank 982) by 2008. Etymologically, it may be analysed as the union of the English formative prefix De- and the Mandarin morpheme jiā (家/佳), which conveys notions of “home,” “family” or “beauty,” a synthesis that reflects late 20th-century Anglo-American onomastic tendencies toward cross-cultural fusion. Pronounced deh-JEE-uh (/dɛˈdʒiə/), Dejia’s carefully balanced phonetic structure imparts a sense of measured elegance and understated cosmopolitanism, making it a distinctive choice for parents who value both novel sound patterns and layered semantic resonance.
