Ameriah is Hebrew in Origin.
Ameriah is a modern feminine given name most commonly used in the United States. It is widely regarded as a contemporary variant of the biblical Hebrew name Amariah (from 'amar, "to say," + Yah, "the Divine Name"), yielding the meaning "Yahweh has spoken/has promised." The -iah ending and the medial -er- also invite comparison with Amirah (Hebrew/Arabic, "princess/leader") and Mariah (an English form of Maria), so Ameriah often carries layered associations of divine utterance and regal grace.
Usage is recent, with scattered records in the late 20th century and modest growth in the 2000s alongside Amariah, Amirah, and Mariah. Earlier echoes appear in Puritan-era use of Amariah for men in English-speaking settings. Variants and near-relations include Amariah, Amariyah, Ameria, Amirah, Amaria, Amari, and Mariah; short forms include Ami, Mira, and Riah. Because the spelling is new, pronunciations vary, commonly ah-MEER-ee-uh or uh-MARE-ee-uh.
