Aria Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation

Aria means air, melody, song. From the Italian word aria, a solo song in an opera.

Aria is an Italian word meaning air and, in music, a solo piece sung in an opera or oratorio. The musical meaning spread across languages, and the name started to appear as a given name in the late twentieth century. It also resembles several other names with different roots, including the Hebrew Ariel, meaning lion of God, and the Persian Arya, so families sometimes choose it with more than one meaning in mind. The name has a flowing, open sound and reads easily in many languages. Variant spellings such as Arya are used too.
