An uncommon Spanish pick — distinctive and rare.
a female given name
Ria is a girl's baby name of Spanish and Sanskrit origin — in Spanish, ría refers to a coastal inlet, while in Sanskrit it means 'singer' or is a short form of Maria (Hebrew, 'beloved'). The name's simplicity is its strength: three letters that feel both ancient and effortlessly modern.
Ria was #1182 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2494, but its charm endures.
