Amariah
Amariah is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, derived from the elements 'am' meaning 'people' and 'Yah' referring to God. The name can be translated as 'promised by God' or 'God has promised'.
In the Old Testament, Amariah is mentioned as the name of several individuals, including a chief priest and a descendant of the tribe of Judah. The name reflects the belief that the child was a promised gift from God.
While not as common as some other biblical names, Amariah has seen a rise in popularity in recent decades, appealing to parents seeking a unique yet meaningful choice with a connection to religious tradition.
The combination of the soft, melodic sound and the positive meaning of being divinely promised has contributed to the name's appeal for many parents.
