How do you pronounce..

[SaharaSunset]

Ariah?

Do you say it like Aria (GOT character), A-rye-ah, or A-ree-ah?

I would pronounce:

Ariah - ah-RYE-uh (like Mariah Carey)
Arya - eye-uh (like GoT)
Aria - AH-ree-uh (like the musical term)

@Clettercletterthatsbetter GoT is Are Ya rather than Eye Ya

Ah rah yah

@RebeccaCloud9 yes, I meant that - when I say them eye-uh and are-ya sound the same!

My cousin has an Aariah which she pronounces “arry-ah”

Thanks everyone.

It's pronounced the same as Mariah without the M but many people are saying it the same as you would Aria and Areeya.

Would the pronunciation be clearer is the spelling was different? Or would spelling it Aryah? Or is that too "youneeq"...

Aryah would be too close to Aryan for me.

I’ve only ever heard it pronounced like the musical term, AH-ree-ah.

What culture does it come from?

I’d pronounce it ah-RYE-ah.

Aryah I’d pronounce ar-yah.

It’s a nice name

I love it but don't want the confusion with pronouncing it like Aria, which is my biggest worry.

@BertrandRussell according to most internet searches it's Hebrew, but other different websites say different things. An American talk show host named her daughter it - which is where I heard the name.
