Maleia

Maleia is a soft and sweet-sounding name of Hawaiian origins, inspired by two distinct beauties. Typically given to girls, Maleia is a spin on Malia, a version of the classic Mary. This name’s Hebrew and Egyptian roots lend to translations such as “bitterness,” “rebelliousness,” “wished for a child,” and “beloved.” On the other hand, Maleia may also be an alternative to Malaya, a Tagalog title signifying “free” or “independent.” Whether you are searching for something more unique than the popular Maria and Marie or simply love its sonorous flow, Maleia is an adorable choice.
