Comments for the name Daria

The name Daria is popular in Russia. The short form is Dasha.

Daria Morgendorffer: The name of the main character in the animated television show "Daria".

There are a lot of pet names for Darya in Russian: Dasha, Dashen'ka, Daryushka, Dashunya, Dashechka, Danya... It's a lovely name to have. :)

It was my name you know and I'm very proud of it!

Daria Werbowy is a Canadian supermodel. She's so cool!

"Daria", also spelled "Darya", is a Persian name meaning "sea".

It makes me think of dairy.

Nice name but I prefer Dara.

Daria in Hebrew means God inhabits/dwells/lives (amongst...) with the combination Dar (dwell/inhabit/live) and Ya which means God.

The name "Daria" has no connotation to God. It is strictly of Persian origin - Darayavaush, which means a person who keeps peace or has peace within him. Please don't add theism to a perfectly decent secular baby name.

First of all the name is biblical so it's not completely a secular name.
Secondly the information I contributed is true information, I personally know a few girls that bear it with the theistic meaning, but it's rare.

Daria means "pearl of wisdom" in Hebrew. The origin of the name came before Christianity - it can be found in Greece and Persia in the BC (or BCE) era. See the definition of "Darius" and "Dara" for more information.

"Darya" means pearl of wisdom in Hebrew. I don't know where your information comes from, but it's false. The early Hebrew form of God was "Yah" and not "Ya."

Daria Nicolodi (born 19 June 1950) is an Italian actress.

Daria Smolka was winner of "Supermodel of Russia 2003" contest.

Daria Komarkova is a Russian model.

Personally, I don't like the name Daria that much. I just don't think that it sounds nice. But, I absolutely adore the show Daria about a very sarcastic teenage girl. I'm pretty sure they don't play it anymore but it rocks.

I think Daria is a really cool name. Not many people have it and it's very pretty. Plus, Daria Morgendorffer is one of the most awesome, intelligent, and hilarious cartoon characters ever invented.

There is a character in "Beavis and Butthead" named Daria, she is smart, sarcastic, and is somewhat cocky.

It is pronounced in Romanian the same as it is in Italian and Polish. [noted -ed]

The name sounds quite blatantly Russian to me despite the awesome cartoon character Daria, so it sounds a tad out of place on people who don't have Russian or East European heritage. It's a pretty name, though, and I loved the cartoon. It rarely happens that the spin-off series is better than the series it sprung off from, and Beavis and Butthead was great!

Czech lawyer Klára Veselá-Samková and Indian activist Ivan Veselý have a daughter Daria Veselá.

Meanings of the name can change due to time and sensibilities of the culture. Two more meanings of Darya include:

1. A name of Greek and Latin origin meaning "rich".
2. Wealthy; Upholds The Good

In regards to the Hebrew language, his interpretation of the name is valid and adds another meaning to the name, because of how it is spelled. It is up to the user to decide when there are choices.

Ekaterina Alexandrovna Gordeeva, a famous pairs skater from Russia (her late husband Sergi Grinkov and she won two Olympic golds, and he later died at 28 on the ice), has a daughter named Daria Sergeyevna Grinkova.

Also used in Croatia. [noted -ed]

Wow, this name has extremely terrible ratings. Personally, I think it's rather nice.

The set Italian pronunciation is "DAHR-Yah"-- incorrectly. While yes, I understand that to a large collection of ears it may sound as so... But I assure you that there is no slurring of "Ria" (REE-Ah) to "Ryah."

Dah-REE-Ah

The "A" in "Da" is spoken as "Father." Roll your "R." Next, stress your "I" to "EE." And as previously stated, "A" is as in "Father."
