Karalia is in Origin.
Karalia is a modern feminine given name with two complementary etymological readings. In the Baltic sphere it echoes Lithuanian karalius and Latvian karalis, both meaning "king," terms ultimately influenced by the medieval name Carolus (Charles). As such, Karalia can be heard as a regal, feminine formation meaning "royal" or "of the king." In wider English usage it also fits the pattern of ornamental -lia names, read as an elaboration of Kara + -lia.
Usage is rare but rising in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, appearing in English-speaking countries and among Baltic diaspora families seeking a subtle cultural nod. Variants and spellings include Caralia, Karaliya, Karaliah, and Karalya; related forms are Kara, Karolina, and Lia. Parents often interpret its meaning as "royal/queenly," while the Kara-based reading allows the affectionate gloss "dear one."
Karalia turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. Either way, it's a name very few children share.
