Mija

Mija is a Spanish term of endearment derived from mi hija, meaning my daughter, which has come to be used as a familiar given name primarily in Latin American and Chicano communities. It conveys warmth and affection, reflecting the close family bonds central to Hispanic cultural tradition. The masculine counterpart is Mijo, from mi hijo, and the name is closely related to the broader Spanish naming practice of adapting affectionate everyday expressions into personal names.
