NAME DETAILS

DOCUMENTED USE: Feminine

About the name

mast, post, or column (Arabic, borrowed from Aramaic); a second Arabic etymology gives "a party of men journeying by night". No dataset currently covers a confirmed etymology for this spelling. Widely repeated claims online that "Sariyah" is Arabic in origin and means "clouds at night" or references a historical companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad come exclusively from baby-name aggregator sites and are not corroborated by any dictionary or onomastic source consulted; readers should not treat that claim as documented fact.
