Meaning of Kamariah

Kamariah, pronounced kuh-MAHR-ee-uh, is a luminous choice for a baby girl, its Swahili-Arabic roots literally meaning “like the moon” or “moonlight.” This melodic name evokes serene nights and a quiet glow, suggesting a child who brings gentle radiance wherever she goes. Though Kamariah remains delightfully uncommon—hovering around the 900s in U.S. popularity rankings—it pops up just often enough to feel fresh without ever risking the mundane. Picture your little one growing up with a name that’s simultaneously exotic and effortlessly approachable, like a soft lantern guiding friends and family toward warmth. With its subtle nod to nature’s nightly wonder and a rhythm that dances off the tongue, Kamariah strikes the perfect balance between poetic charm and modern appeal—no full-moon folklore required.
