Auriah is in Origin.

Auriah is a modern English feminine name built on the Latin aur- “gold” (aurum), most closely related to Aurea/Auria and the Aurelia–Aurora family. The -iah ending mirrors the cadence of biblical names such as Isaiah or Jeremiah, giving the coinage a lyrical, contemporary profile. As such, Auriah can be read as “golden,” with radiant or dawnlike overtones shared with its Latin relatives.

While the spelling itself is recent, the root has deep history in the Roman gens Aurelia and in saints named Aurea of Ostia and of Córdoba. In usage it rides the popularity of Aria and Aurora in the 21st century. Variants and cognates include Auria, Aurea, Auriya, Auryah, Ariah, Aria, Aurelia, and Aurora; nicknames Auri, Ari, and Aura. Meanings commonly given: “golden,” and, by Aria-association, “melody; air.”
