Niya Justine

Why Niya Justine??? Niya (n-eye-uh) because we like the sound of it and the way it looks when written. It also has a simplicity that meant she probably won't shorten it or go by a nickname. In addition the meanings and attached information are all positive. Here are some of the meanings: 
-form of the Irish name Neila which means champion
-Islamic form of Niyyah meaning 'intention'/ intention to do a good deed
-One who has purpose
-Welsh for brilliance
-Ancient city on the Silk Road thought to be a crossroads for cultures to meet peacefully
-A term coined more recently for peace and cultural blending (Niya dolls and the Niya organization).

Justine (Jus-teen) because it isn't used very often and because if fit nicely with Niya. In addition it is the feminine version of Justin which means fair, upright, or just.

So... here is Niya Justine!!
