Princess or morning star
Soriyah is a modern variant of the name Soraya, which has Persian roots meaning 'the Pleiades' or 'princess'. It is also sometimes associated with Arabic origins meaning 'morning star' or 'wealthy'. In the US, this specific spelling is a contemporary choice that adds a rhythmic, multi-syllabic flair.
