History & Origin
Zaraiah is a recent American coinage. It joins a Zara- opening to the -iah ending heard in Hebrew names such as Azariah and Moriah, giving it a scriptural ring without a scriptural source. We will not assign it a biblical meaning it does not carry — the routes are uncertain, which we note. Very rare in the U.S. (said 'zah-RY-uh').
It appears only very recently and very rarely. Rare, invented, and lyrical.
