It's pronounced like it's written 'zor-YAH'.
As far as I know it means dawn (see Zora). It is possible that it's derived from an Old Slavic word for star, but it's not a modern word for star in any Slavic language I'm familiar with (Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Russian).

My name book lists Zorya as a variation of Zora.

I looked it up and Russian for dawn is заре (zarje), star is звезда (zvezda -same as in Serbian, in Croatian it's zvijezda).
