What is the meaning of the name Daria ?

The baby name Daria is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdɑːriə/ (DAH-REE-ə); also /ˈdɛəriə/ (DAIR-ee-ə) and Slavic /ˈdarʲə/ (DAR-ya).

Daria is Persian in Origin.

Derived from the Old Persian royal name Dārayavahuš, via Greek Dareios and Latin Darius, Daria is the feminine counterpart meaning “possessor of good,” often interpreted as “wealthy” or “upholder of good.” The name entered Christian usage through St. Daria of Rome, a 3rd-century martyr commemorated with her husband Chrysanthus, which secured its presence in medieval martyrologies and kept it in circulation across Italy and, later, Eastern Europe. Humanist interest in classical names also reinforced its spread.

Forms and transliterations include Darya/Dariya (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian), Darja (Slovene, Croatian, Latvian), Darija (Serbo-Croatian), and Dariia (Ukrainian); Dasha is the familiar Russian diminutive. While Persian daryā (“sea”) lends a popular modern association, it is a separate word from the royal etymon. Today Daria is well established in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Italy, with growing, if modest, use in English-speaking countries.
