In 30 seconds: A whole constellation in a name: Saroya spells Soraya — the Pleiades, the 'seven sisters' star cluster — through Persian and Arabic. A queen's name, written in starlight.
Saroya is a spelling of Soraya — from Persian Sorayya, via Arabic Thurayya, naming the Pleiades star cluster. Borne by Empress Soraya of Iran, it carries royal and celestial resonance; the Sar- spelling reflects English phonetics.
It registers thinly in U.S. records. Rare, starry at the root, and quietly regal.
Did you know? Soraya — Saroya's source — was the name of an Empress of Iran, and at root means the Pleiades, the luminous star cluster the ancients across many cultures watched for the changing seasons.
