Meaning & origin
Myria is a rare modern name first recorded in the United States in 1930. It saw its peak usage in 1991, though it has never reached widespread popularity. The name's trajectory has remained stable since the 1990s, with very few births each year. Its origins are uncertain, but it may be derived from the Greek word 'myria' meaning 'countless' or as a variant of Myra. Myria is almost exclusively given to girls.
