Aria: meaning and origin
Aria means “song, melody” in Italian, says Behind the Name, and literally “air”, from the Greek aer. An aria is an elaborate vocal solo, the kind usually sung in operas. Wikipedia adds other origins: the Persian Arya means “noble”, and in Albanian aria means “gold” or “treasure”.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name lists Ariah, Ariya and Ariyah as variants, and Arya as the Persian form. Ari is a quick pet name, though the sources do not list it.
Famous people named Aria
The best-known Aria is a TV character. Behind the Name says the name’s rise sped up after the 2010 premiere of Pretty Little Liars, which features Aria Montgomery. Wikipedia says the role was played by Lucy Hale, born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1989, and it won her seven Teen Choice Awards, the most for any actress in a single series.
Is Aria a popular name?
Aria is a brand-new favorite. US Social Security data shows it entering the top 200 in the 2010s at 36th, when more than 52,200 American girls were named Aria. Behind the Name says it has only been used in English since the 20th century and is not traditionally used in Italy.
Aria trivia
An aria is a song in its own right. Wikipedia says it is a self-contained piece for one voice, usually part of a larger work, and while arias belong mostly to opera, they also appear in oratorios and cantatas. A short one is called an arietta, and in English the word was simply “air”.
