Piya meaning
Piya (पिया) is a Hindu girl's name of Hindi origin.
Beloved, dear; a sweetheart
Piya (पिया) is the Hindi form of Sanskrit priya, "dear". Platts defines piyā as beloved, dear, a dear one, and also a husband, sweetheart or lover; it is one of the most familiar words of Hindi and Urdu poetry and film song, where it usually addresses the beloved. As a girls' name it simply means "beloved" or "dear", which name lists confirm. It is a softer, everyday cousin of Priya, and Pia is another spelling, though it is also an Italian and Scandinavian name.
