Comments for ARIA:
The word "aria" means "plough" in Lithuanian.-- monie 1/24/2005
An ancient Greek name. Also Aria was one of the many epithets of goddess Athina.-- Damis 3/3/2005
Arya is an alternative spelling to the name. In Hebrew it means lion. The name is also popular in Ethiopia and the Middle East, and is usually used for boys.-- Eliana 1/6/2006
Aria was used in the book Rhapsody by Elizabeth Haydon. It was used as a word meaning 'my star' in the Lirin language. It -might've- been selected because of its meaning, which has a lot to do with the main character of the books, who is a Singer.-- Hanekaeru 1/6/2006
An alternate spelling of the name, from its Latin root, is "Arria".-- SerasVictoria 7/22/2006
"Aria" is also the Italian word for the element "air".-- Lilya 8/29/2006
Another version of this name, Arya, is a main character in George R. R. Martin's series of books, A Song of Ice and Fire. She is disobedient and wild, but she is one of my favorite characters.-- Anonymous User 9/2/2006
I like Aria, although I think it's prettiest spelt 'Ariya.' It makes me think of a dark haired, pale Elven wanderer. Also, in Christopher Paolini's 'Inheritance' trilogy, Arya is an Elven princess. She's tougher than the guys and she rocks!-- Elvenscholar 11/15/2006
This is my 2nd cousin's name! I really prefer it spelled Arya. It's a really pretty name.-- Fincayra 12/13/2006
This is a beautiful name, and though I think the spelling Arya looks better, I would use Aria to keep the original musical reference there. I think that Aria and Carmen would make good names for twin girls.-- YMPvt 3/7/2007
There is a mousemaid in the book Martin The Warrior by Brian Jacques named Aryah. She is the mother of one of the main characters named Laterose (Rose) and Brome.-- JungKyungSoon 4/5/2007
In "Eragon," by Christopher Paolini, one of the main characters, an elven princess, is named Arya, which is pronounced the same way. This may color perceptions of the name, as the two are pronounced exactly the same way.-- Elvenscholar 10/27/2007
Aria Noelle Curzon plays 'Ducky' in the Land Before Time series.-- Patricia Underwood 2/17/2008
I love this name, in fact, it's my name! People are always telling me how pretty it is. Although, I must warn you that if you want to name your child this that some people mispronouce it as Airia pretty often. It doesn't particuarly bother me, though.
Also, some of the spellings the people who commented before me suggested were really pretty and I agree with the person who said that Aria and Cameron would make really good names for twin girls.-- Anonymous User 11/13/2008
I think it's a really pretty name! Although you could spell it as Ariah.-- Polly.C 11/23/2008
Although an "aria" was once used for "song" or "melody", nowadays it means so only when speaking about music in technical terms, or to describe a specific piece of music. Aria means "air" in Italian.-- Moretta 4/14/2009
Beautiful, I want to name my daughter this!-- Anonymous User 11/11/2009
Aria is the main name of the little girl in Rune Factory 2 (you can name her anything you want, however). Her seiyuu (Japanese voice actor) is Maeda Ai.-- Dianaisme12 12/21/2009
There is a new hotel in Las Vegas named Aria.-- italiannames 12/26/2009
In Italian this would not be pronounced AHR-ee-a with a long "ah" at the beginning, but simply A-ree-a, with a short "a" - like in cat.-- Elly747 5/28/2010
Aria is also one of the main characters in Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars series.-- aNewBrokenSong 6/7/2010
This is a beautiful name. I can easily imagine it on any age girl or woman.-- Joy12 4/28/2011
Aria also means "air". [noted -ed]-- Anonymous User 7/6/2011
This is my name and I love it, although sometimes, I wish I had another one. My name is suddenly popular and I wouldn't change it.-- ariaspanishtrini 7/27/2011
My name is Aria and some people sometimes pronounce it wrong, which drives me crazy. The A sounds like the u in umbrella, the R sounds like the r in ready, the I sounds like the ea in read, and the A sounds like the a in umbrella. The pronunciation is uh-ree-uh.-- ariaspanishtrini 7/27/2011
My Persian friend has this name, but thank god she spells it Aria. How can anyone think that Arya is a nice spelling? It's one letter away from Aryan, and that's not the most loveliest of meanings or connotations.-- nevercontent 10/12/2011
I knew a boy named Aria.-- Meapergirl 11/7/2011
The Aria series by Michel Weyland.-- Meapergirl 11/7/2011
This is currently my FAVORITE NAME EVER! It's so cute. I also like it because it's modern and feels like a breath of fresh air. So sweet. I am all for naming my first daughter Aria. I just need a good middle name... :)-- blondieboo629 11/8/2011
To the person above saying Arya is another spelling variation of Aria... you are highly mistaken! Aria is pronounced ARE-ee-ah and Arya is pronounced ARE-yah. Arya is a unisex Sanskrit name that means "Noble" while Aria means "Air". They are NOT related.-- Anonymous User 2/6/2012
I must admit, ever since I was a child I have found this name somewhat alluring (although, its draw has lessened over the years.)
It holds an air of ethereal beauty; I can easily see it the subject (or title) of poetry.
Now that I have said that, I must proceed to the negatives.
People preach of it's uniqueness, of the uncommon decision to dub a child "Aria"... I now point you in the direction of the chart which lists and numbers the most popular-- take a wild guess at who has secured a considerable spot... indeed: "Aria."
I also am unable to see it aging past the teenage years... it will likely function decently as a young adult, middle-age it will appear out of place, and I cannot even begin to picture it on a person of advanced years.
With the generic simplicity births pretentiousness; unprofessionalism and nature of an infantile are ever present.-- Francesca 2/7/2012
