Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Slovene and Swedish. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Myiah (891), Mi (721), Mio (464), Meia (430), Mee (365), Miaya (348), Miyu (240), Miia (238), Meiah (181), Meha (178), Mija (175), Miaa (130), and more.
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
