Answer 3

We've had previous threads on this topic and I believe that it has other meanings besides being an abbreviated form of "mi hija." You might wish to search for previous discussions.

[mija][1] (over written)

clipped from previous discussion:

'Mija is a term of endearment. People call their children that too. Mijo for boys, mija for girls.

darn. one of my links wrote over the other one. Just Search previous topics for mija.

It seems to me that "mija" is just the product of the i's of "mi" y "hija" sliding together when said quickly. - Nick-Cortina, AGO 29, 2009
