History & Origin

Emariah is a recent American coinage. Its parts are borrowed for sound: the Em- of Emma and Emily, the -ariah of Mariah and Zariah. That is a pattern, not a pedigree, and no meaning is recorded for the name itself. Routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'em-uh-RYE-uh').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, modern, and swinging.

Did you know? Emariah is built the way a great many new American names are built — a familiar opening bolted to a familiar ending. The pieces are Emma and Mariah; the whole has no documented meaning, and we say that plainly.
