In France, since 1900, the growth of the name Mia has been relatively modest, since we had to wait until the early 2000s to see a more significant evolution.

Since 1990, the name Mia has been given more and more, going from 780 in 1990 to nearly 15,000 in 2015. Nowadays, it remains one of the most common name in the United States.
