Chaya is a Hebrew name meaning life, or living — the feminine of the word chai, so central to Jewish thought and blessing. It is a name that celebrates being alive.
Chaya does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Chaya reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
