History & Origin

Adaria adds an A- to Daria, the feminine of Darius. That name comes from the Old Persian Darayavaush, understood as 'possessing goodness' or 'holding firm the good.'

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year around its late-nineteen-nineties peak. A girl named Adaria then is in her twenties now.

Did you know? The tidy Daria hides an emperor's name - Darius the Great of Persia - and Adaria quietly inherits that same 'possessing goodness' meaning.
