Soranya is Thai in Origin.

Soranya is a modern, cross-cultural feminine name with several plausible roots. It is sometimes viewed as a creative blend of Soraya (Persian/Arabic, from Thurayya, “the Pleiades”) and Anya (a Slavic form of Anna, “grace”). In South Asian contexts it also aligns with Saranya/Sharanya, from Sanskrit śaraṇya, “protector; giver of refuge,” an epithet of the Vedic goddess Saranyu. In mainland Southeast Asia, related forms like Soriya/Sorya derive from Sanskrit Sūrya, “sun,” which may likewise influence the spelling.

As a given name, Soranya appears rarely before the late 20th century and remains uncommon, used by diasporic Indian families and in multicultural settings shaped by Soraya’s mid‑century prominence. Variants include Saranya, Sharanya, Suranya, Soraya, Soriya, Sorya, and Sorayah; short forms include Sora, Ranya, and Anya. Depending on the etymology embraced, meanings range from “Pleiades/cluster of stars” to “protector, refuge‑giver” or “sun/solar radiance.”
