Myria is a feminine name with Greek roots, derived from the word 'myrios' meaning 'countless' or 'ten thousand.' This elegant name carries connotations of abundance and limitlessness. While relatively uncommon in most English-speaking countries, Myria has an ethereal quality that appeals to parents seeking something unique yet melodious.
