What it means

Linked to the Hebrew Azariah, 'Yahweh has helped,' and to Zara and Zahra, 'blossom.'

Zariah reads as a soft feminine form of Azariah or Zachariah, names from the Hebrew for 'Yahweh has helped.' It also leans on the bright sound of Zara and the Arabic Zahra, 'flower.' Modern and lifted, it sits with Aaliyah and Amaya in the airy -iah crowd. Said zuh-RY-uh.
