It's so pretty! I didn't know it was a real name though. I thought Hilari Bell made it up.-- Anonymous User 5/8/2008
I like this name because it is a good girl name, easy to pronounce and it is sweet, elegant, smart and sexy at the same time. :)-- Anonymous User 7/5/2008
This name is also used in Spanish as a variant of "Zoraida". I met a beautiful little girl in Honduras named Soraya ("so-RIE-a").-- Anonymous User 8/21/2008

The name Soraya is not only a very ancient Persian name, but can be traced to other ancient civilizations, and it most certainly does not mean princess. It means "The Pleiades" (a group of stars within The Constellation of Orion). Some Arabs simplify the meaning as "a very bright light".-- Anonymous User 1/31/2009
A famous bearer of this name is the talented Colombian singer Soraya, who sadly lost her battle with breast cancer.-- Jeidy_mn 3/23/2009
I'm sorry, but this Soraya reminds me of psoriasis.-- erb816 4/14/2009
There is a movie called "The Stoning of Soraya M". I liked the name before, but after seeing that movie I can't use it. The movie creeped me out. :P-- Frozten 11/2/2009
I love this name, it's really beautiful, and that movie is my favorite, so I love it even more now that I know a story behind the name.-- --allison-- 12/15/2010
My name is Soraya, and I pronounce it sor-ie-ah (so it rhymes with fire).
I'm part Iranian/Persian, and was named after the Shah of Persia's first wife. :)
I was also told it was originally named after a constellation of stars too.-- silly_soraya 5/5/2011
