What the historical pattern shows
Mia first appears in the published female-field archive in 1933. That marks the first year with a released row for this exact spelling, not the first time the name was ever used. It remained outside the top 300 in 1990.
The spelling reached position 93 in 2000 and position 10 in 2010. Its largest annual count was in 2015; in 2025 it was sixth. The long ascent is more informative than describing Mia as only a recent trend.
