It is also found as a given name in its own right in Nordic countries.”

Mia has also been independently used as a short form of names like Amelia and Naomi. It became one of the most popular feminine names in the English-speaking world in the early 21st century.”
Elia
“A contracted form of Elijah or Elias, from the Hebrew "Eliyahu" meaning "my God is Yahweh". Elia is the Italian and Aramaic form of the name, used across Jewish, Christian, and sometimes Islamic communities as a versatile and elegantly brief rendering of this ancient prophetic name.”
