Seriyah
Meaning of Seriyah
Seriyah, a feminine given name of likely Hebrew derivation and at times construed as a modern elaboration of the classical Sarah, is formed by the fusion of the root ṣārāh—commonly rendered as “princess”—with the theophoric suffix –yah, a contracted invocation of Yahweh, thereby conferring upon the name a dual sense of regal dignity and spiritual devotion. In the United States, Seriyah first appeared in Social Security Administration records in the early 2000s, maintaining a modest yet steadily ascending presence that culminated in a rank of 910 with forty recorded births in 2024; this trajectory reflects Anglo-American naming preferences for hybrid constructs that combine biblical resonance with phonetic innovation. Phonetically standardized in English as /sərˈaɪjə/ (seh-RYE-uh), Seriyah exemplifies contemporary onomastic trends characterized by the integration of traditional linguistic elements into newly coined feminine names.
