Amarya is Hebrew, Sanskrit in Origin.
Amarya is most plausibly a modern spelling of the Hebrew theophoric name Amariah (Amaryah), built from the verb 'amar "to say/declare" and the divine element -yah, yielding the meaning "Yahweh has spoken" or "promised by God." In the Hebrew Bible several priests and officials bear this name, anchoring it in temple and genealogical lists from Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. English usage appears sporadically after the Reformation, with occasional Puritan-era examples, and today the name is used for all genders.
Contemporary parents also read Amarya as stylistically allied to Amara and Arya, which adds cross-cultural resonance, though these forms have separate etymologies (Latin/Igbo Amara "grace; beloved," Sanskrit/Persian Arya "noble"). Established variants include Amariah, Amariyah, and Amaria; short forms or nicknames include Mari, Amara, Ari, and Aya. Overall, Amarya blends an ancient devotional meaning with a sleek, globally familiar sound.
