Amaria Origin and Meaning

The name Amaria is a girl's name meaning "grace; beloved, bitter; to thrive and live long; Yahweh has said; to sparkle".

Amaria is one of those rare names that sounds like a familiar and well-known choice. Part of this is done to its similarity to the likes of Amara, Amelia, Maria, and Aria, but another factor is it its multicultural roots.

As an English name, it could be considered an elaboration of the Igbo Amara, meaning "grace" or an elaboration of classic Maria, meaning "bitter, beloved or drop of the sea". As an Arabic name, it could come from Ammar, meaning "to live long and thrive" or possible Amira, meaning "princess, ruler".

From it's Hebrew origins, it could be a form of the masculine name Amariah, now considered unisex in the US. In this case, it would mean "Yahweh has said". There's also the possibility that it comes from the Greek Amaryllis or Maira, with the glittery meaning "to sparkle".

Other sources suggest it comes from the Sanskrit and Hindi Amariya, meaning "eternal" or from the Spanish and Portuguese name Amaro, meaning "bitter".

Given to around 110 girls in a recent year, it is currently outside the US Top 1000.
