Yaria is a woman's name that can have different etymologies depending on its origin. In America it comes from the Tupi language of Brazil where Iara or Uiara is a mythological being similar to a naiad or mermaid, because it inhabits rivers and attracts males to drown them, although for that matter it also means "lady", which the Portuguese could interpret as an indigenous name. For Europeans it could have come from the Greek 953; 945; 961; 945; ( iara "plant" ) , or perhaps from the Arabic name 1610; 1575; 1585; 1575; (Iara) taken from Persian 17( 1575; 1585; ( yar "partner, friend, helper" ) . There is also a Hebrew etymology from 1497; 1464; 1512; 1464; 1492; ( yará "throw, throw, flow like water, rain") . And a false cognate of the latter in Japanese 27085; ( iarí "spear" ) , which as a name -for me- should be masculine.
