At least 8,620 babies have been given the name since 1974. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Kaiya by decade

Where Kaiya is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kaiya has been most common in Hawaii (4.9×), Utah (3.7×), and Colorado (2.6×), and least common in Iowa (0.38×).
6,823 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
