What is the meaning of the name Pias ?

The baby name Pias is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PEE-as (or PEE-ahs).

Pias is Dutch, Latin in Origin.

Pias is a South Asian given name rooted in the Indo-Aryan languages, especially Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu. It descends from Sanskrit pipāsa/pipāsā, “thirst,” a word long used in poetry to express yearning, craving, or spiritual longing. As a personal name it conveys aspiration and an eager pursuit of knowledge, love, or faith.

Use as a given name grew in the late 20th century in Bangladesh and Indian Bengal, where it is favored across communities because it is lexical rather than devotional. Variant spellings include Piyas, Pyas, and Pyaas; the diacritic form Piyās may appear in academic transliteration. Cognate or semantically related names include Trisha/Trishna (from Sanskrit tṛṣṇā, “thirst/desire”). Pias is unrelated to the Latin name Pius and to the Iberian toponymic surname Pias, though the spellings coincide.
