Zahria is a modern American coinage, likely inspired by the Arabic name Zahra (meaning 'flower' or 'radiant') or the Hebrew name Zahara (meaning 'to shine'). Its spelling with an 'i' and 'a' ending follows the trendy pattern seen in names like Aria and Zaria. The name first appeared in U.S. records in the mid-1990s and gained modest popularity in the early 2000s, particularly among parents seeking a melodic name with an exotic flair.
