Meaning & origin
Debria is a rare American feminine name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1949. It peaked in 1956 but has never ranked in the top 1,000, making it an uncommon choice. The name likely evolved as a variant of Debra, a mid-20th-century spelling of Deborah. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1950s, with no significant revival. Despite its rarity, Debria fits the style of other names from its era, such as Debra and Brenda. For parents seeking a distinctive name with a vintage 1950s feel, Debria offers a unique option without straying too far from familiar sounds.
Debria likely emerged as a 20th-century coinage, probably a feminized or elaborated form of Debra (a spelling variant of Deborah). The name Deborah comes from the Hebrew Devorah, meaning 'bee'. Debria first appeared in U.S. records in 1949 and saw modest use during the 1950s, but never reached the top ranks.
