How Arabic Wikipedia spells Mia

We looked up the Arabic Wikipedia articles of four well-known people called Mia. Their titles write the name as ميا three times and مايا once. Our name tool gives ميا, the spelling of Mia Hamm's article.

Why ميا is spelled this way

Mia is spelled by its sound, and Arabic has no letter for some English sounds, so each choice below follows a rule. ميا starts with the letter م, mīm. Every letter of ميا joins the one after it, so the name is one unbroken shape.

• Mia is three letters: mīm, م, for the m, yāʾ, ي, for the ee, and alif, ا, for the final a.
• The yāʾ comes before the alif, so the two read as ee-a, not as a single sound.
• Arabic Wikipedia writes the actor Mia Farrow مايا, with an alif after the mīm, as if the name were said Maya; the other three Mias are ميا.
