Meaning & History

Derived from the Russian noun заря (zarya) meaning "dawn, daybreak". Also compare the related name Zorya.

This name was used by Communist parents who were eager to reject traditional names, possibly in the sense of красная заря (krasnaya zarya) meaning "red dawn" (i.e. the dawn of communism). Also note that Zarya was once the name of a Marxist publication as well as of several Soviet scientifically-inclined projects.
