Arkadiya is Greek, Russian in Origin.

Arkadiya is the Russian and East Slavic feminine form of Arkady, ultimately from Greek Arkadios via Latin Arcadius, meaning "of Arcadia" or "from Arcadia." Arcadia, the mountainous region of the Peloponnese, became a literary symbol of pastoral innocence and serene rural life; the name therefore carries connotations of idyllic harmony and natural beauty.

Used sporadically in Russian-speaking communities from the 19th century onward, Arkadiya remains rare compared with the masculine Arkady/Arkadiy, which is supported by several Orthodox saints and the Roman emperor Arcadius. Variant and transliteration forms include Arkadiia (Ukrainian/Russian), Arkadia, and the Latinized Arcadia; related masculine names are Arkady, Arkadiy, and Arcadius. Informal short forms such as Kadi, Cadia, or Arka may appear in contemporary use. The name appeals today to parents seeking an elegant Slavic twist on Arcadia with literary, nature-rich overtones.
