Zaria?

Opinions on this name please!

It's of Slavic origin meaning 'princess' and is pronounced zaa-ree-uh.

Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

@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.

😂

Yes, this.

Well...ss i saix previously it already IS my daughter"s name and she is in her late 20s. I never encountered a problem with pronoucation. Its a beautiful name that suits her.
OP if you like it use it.... doesnt matter what the origins are.. every name was new at some point in history .

Absolutely beautiful name.

Also Azaria, Azaari.

Azariah is a boys name.

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

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

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

Thanks. It's nice.

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