What is the meaning of the name Iria ?

The baby name Iria is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish/Galician: /iˈɾi.a/ (ee-REE-ah); English approximation: /ˈɪriə/ (IH-ree-ə).

Iria is Galician in Origin.

Iria is the Galician and Portuguese form of Irene, ultimately from Greek Eirēnē, “peace.” It appears in medieval Iberian records through the cult of Santa Iria (Irene) of Tomar, a locally venerated nun-martyr, and the name is also culturally linked to Iria Flavia in Galicia, a historic episcopal seat. Use in Spain - especially Galicia - and in Portugal has grown in recent decades, giving the name a modern yet rooted feel.

Standard variants include Íria (Portuguese spelling with stress mark) and Iria (Spanish/Galician). Cognates and related forms are Irene, Eirene/Eirini, Irina, and Irena; short forms such as Iri, Ria, and Portuguese Irinha occur in families. The meaning remains the serene “peace,” lending a calm, luminous tone. Iria suits multilingual contexts, travels easily, and carries a subtle saintly heritage without feeling archaic.
