Opinions on this name please! It's of Slavic origin meaning 'princess' and is pronounced zaa-ree-uh. Thanks!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Nice name, it is a variant of Sarah, nothing extreme or way out about it at all

FayCarew · 19/01/2024 20:31

Thanks. It's nice.

MammaSamx3 · 19/01/2024 20:28

Zaaa-ree-uh. She loves that it's a unique name. She was asking how many other Zaria's there are when we came across this thread x

FayCarew · 19/01/2024 20:04

How do you say it @MammaSamx3 . Zar-ya, Zar-ee-a or Zar-eye-a?

MammaSamx3 · 19/01/2024 20:02

6 months too late to this conversation but my 6 year old is called Zaria. No-one has ever got her name confused. I hope you ignored the rude comments on here and named your daughter it too xx

Honestly, it's like you wanted to use Zara but wanted to be different but really just made up q name that sounds a bit silly. Not my cup of tea at all.

😂

Yes, this.

FayCarew · 22/06/2023 11:56

@RaisingZ , it probably is a 'Slavic' name in the same way as Sarah is 'North European' in that the root might be from somewhere else.

I will repeat that Slavic is not a specific language. It's a vague label, a bit like saying something is "European". If a name is genuinely used in a particular culture then the source should be able to name it and provide data to back that up.

Well many sites (such as this one: babynames.com/name/zaria ) seem to all say the same thing so guess it's unclear where the name actually came from since the website you looked on says it's English.

FayCarew · 22/06/2023 09:55

The baby name sites are often unreliable.

I can think of several similar names like Zara, Saira, Sara etc and they all seem to mean princess.

If you like the name use it, but I wouldn't say it was of Slavic origin, because it might be untrue.

It’s ok, nothing special imo.

Where are you getting your info? Slavic isn't a specific language and I've never heard of an Eastern European woman with this name. According to Behind the Name it's a modern English name that's used mainly in the United States.

I think the name itself is fine. But I would suggest doing more research if the origin/meaning matters to you greatly.

I'll ask you the same question... where are you getting your info from? According to multiple sources, Zaria is a name of Slavic origin and definitely not English...

Are you Slavic?

Nope. But there's nothing wrong with using a name from a place you're not from... my own name originated from a different country

It's not made up at all. As stated in my OP, it's a Slavic name

So sorry OP but I felt it needed mentioning.

😂 I don't think it sounds anything like diarrhoea

I thought of baby Azaria. Not sure I've heard of Zaria, but I like it.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 21/06/2023 00:43

Prefer Zara.
