Neria is Hebrew in Origin.
Neria draws chiefly from Hebrew Neriah/Neriya (נריה), built from ner “lamp” and the theophoric Yah(u), yielding “Yahweh is my lamp” or “lamp of God.” In the Hebrew Bible, Neriah appears as the father of the scribe Baruch, anchoring the name in prophetic-era Judah. The form was preserved in Jewish naming and reemerged in modern Israel, where Neria/Neriya is used mostly for boys but sometimes unisex. It also surfaces in place and family names, notably the community of Neria honoring Rabbi Moshe-Zvi Neria.
Beyond Hebrew, Neria occurs as a Basque-influenced given name related to Nerea, from Basque nerea “mine,” lending a gentle, endearing sense. Common variants and transliterations include Neriah (English Bible form), Neriya, Neriyah, and Neriyahu; feminine spellings often mirror the same set. Overall, the name blends imagery of divine light with affectionate modern appeal.
