I don't think you want your child to be named that.
In a dialect context, it means (poor) as an interjection or something close to that.

Sins, crimes, guilts
"Khataya" خطايا is the plural form of "Khati'a" خطيئة which means:
Sin, crime, guilt etc.

Apparently, It might not be convenient for a child's name.
