Roia is Persian in Origin.

Roia is a feminine given name rooted in Persian Royā (رویا), itself from Arabic ruʾyā (رؤيا), meaning “dream,” “vision,” or “revelation.” The name carries connotations of inspiration, foresight, and the imaginative realm, and in Persian is typically pronounced close to ROH-yah, though the spelling Roia may be heard as ROY-uh in English contexts. It is etymologically unrelated to English Roy.

Used as a personal name throughout Iran and neighboring Persian- and Arabic-influenced cultures, Roia/Roya rose to wider popularity in the 20th century alongside modern Persian literature and later through diaspora communities. Visibility has also come via Azerbaijani singer Röya. The spelling Roia is a less common transliteration; more frequent forms include Roya, Royā, Röya, Ro’ya, Ru’ya, Rouya, and Ruya. Though sometimes confused with the Franco-Italian toponym Roya/Roia (a river and surname), the given name’s meaning remains “dream/vision.”
