What is the meaning of the name Aarya ?

The baby name Aarya is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced AH-ree-yah.

Aarya is Sanskrit in Origin.

Aarya is a modern English spelling of Sanskrit Āryā, the feminine form of ā́rya, an adjective already found in Vedic Sanskrit, including the Rigveda. Its literal sense is noble, honorable, or worthy of respect, with social and ethical overtones rather than hereditary rank alone. The final long -ā marks the feminine form in Sanskrit, while the doubled aa in Aarya is a common romanized way to show long ā.

In South Asian naming, Arya and Aarya appear in Hindu, Buddhist, and secular contexts; Āryā is also a Sanskrit metrical term and an epithet associated with goddesses such as Durga or Parvati. Cognate Indo-Iranian forms include Old Persian ariya and Avestan airiia. The spelling Arya gained broader English-language visibility through Arya Stark, while Aarya is especially familiar in Indian and diaspora use, usually for girls in recent U.S. records.
