Euriah
Primarily a boy's name of Hebrew origin with 93 recorded births. Also given to 5 girls.
Meaning & Origin
If you're considering Euriah, you're looking at a name that fewer than 93 families have ever chosen in the U.S. That kind of rarity is intentional — it signals that the name was chosen for its sound, its personal meaning, or a family connection rather than a trend.
The strong, devotional ending gives Euriah a direct, strong feel that works well in both playground and boardroom.
In the most recent SSA release, Euriah ranks #7372 among U.S. boy names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Euriah is a boy's and girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Uriah, from Uriyahu meaning 'God is my light' or 'flame of God.' In the Hebrew Bible, Uriah the Hittite was one of David's most valiant warriors, whose tragic fate was sealed by David's desire for Bathsheba. The name carries both divine light and the weight of one of scripture's most morally complex stories.
Euriah's spelling variation softens the ancient Hebrew name while preserving its profound meaning — the divine light metaphor making it one of scripture's most visually evocative names.
EtymologyShow more
In the American context, Euriah is a boy's name with a focused stretch of recorded use (2009–2024). Its Hebrew roots connect it to a broader naming tradition, but in practice, American usage often reshapes names — adding nicknames, shifting pronunciation, and building new associations that diverge from the original cultural context.
Today, Euriah is an active part of the American naming landscape (ranked #7372), continuing to accumulate its own cultural meaning with each new child who carries it.
