What is the meaning of the name Saria ?

Saria is Hebrew in Origin.

Saria is a cross-cultural feminine name with layered roots. In Hebrew contexts it’s treated as a modern offshoot of Sarai/Sarah, carrying the sense of “princess” or “noblewoman.” In Arabic it aligns with Sariyah/Sariya, names variously glossed as “night clouds,” “night traveler,” or deriving from sarīy, “noble; eminent.” The form Saria therefore gathers meanings around nobility and the night sky, appealing to parents seeking a familiar-yet-uncommon alternative to Sarah or Sarai.

Documented usage is sparse before the late 20th century; it grows in English-speaking countries as a contemporary elaboration of Sara and through pop-culture exposure - the forest guide Saria in Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) notably boosted recognition. Latter-day Saint circles also use the cognate Sariah (Book of Mormon). Common variants and spellings include Sariah, Sariyah, Sariya, Sarai, and Sarya; short forms Sari and Ria are typical. Related names include Sarah and Sarina.
