History & Origin
Debria appears in United States records from the late 1940s, when Debra and Deborah were near their height and inventive spin-offs flourished. Leaning on Deborah, 'bee,' it stayed long-tail, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1956.
A girl named Debria then would be in her late sixties now, a rare offshoot of a very common mid-century favorite. It has not revived, though its Deborah root remains familiar and warm.
