Kamarya is in Origin.

Kamarya is a feminine given name with Swahili and Arabic roots. It traces to Arabic qamar “moon,” with the -ya/-iya ending functioning like an adjectival or possessive marker in Swahili and Arabic, so the sense is “of the moon,” “moonlike,” or “moonlight.” In some Arabic usage, qamari also names the collared dove, adding a gentle, luminous association.

The name appears along the East African coast - Zanzibar and coastal Kenya/Tanzania - through centuries of Swahili–Arab contact, and it has spread in the African diaspora and contemporary American naming as a stylistic variant of Kamaria/Kamariya or as a sister form to Kamari. Common variants include Kamaria, Kamariya, Qamaria(h), Qamariyya(h), and Camaria; related names are Qamar, Kamar, Qamara/Qamra, and the unisex Kamari or Kamarie. Across spellings, the core meaning remains lunar. Though uncommon in statistics, Kamarya fits the modern preference for lyrical, nature-evoking names; nicknames include Kami, Kam, Marya, and Rya.
