Dawn or sunrise
Zoriah is a modern variant of the Slavic name Zorya, which refers to the personification of the dawn in mythology. It is often associated with the morning star and the beauty of the first light of day. In recent years, it has gained traction in the US as a creative alternative to names like Zora or Mariah.
