Kanya is from the Sanskrit kanyā (कन्या — virgin, young woman, maiden) — also used in Thai as kanya (young woman). Kanya is one of the Sanskrit + Thai feminine names.
Kanya 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 Kanya reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
