Sariah is my grand-daughter's name, and I think it's a beautiful one. It has the same pronunciation as the name "Soraya" (alternatively spelled "Suraya"), a girl's name of Arabic origin. The name is also related to "Thurayya" (meaning "the Pleiades"), also a name of Arabic origin borrowed by the Turkish. The Pleiades are a physically-related group of seven stars in the constellation Taurus. In myth, the seven stars are sisters. Her Imperial Highness the Princess Soraya of Iran (1932-2001) was a beautiful and glamorous bearer of the name.

Sariah could also be a combination of Sarah and Mariah.
