Radiance or dawn
Zoriyah is a modern American creation likely derived from the Slavic element 'zorya' meaning 'dawn' or 'star,' or as a variation of the Hebrew name Zora. It combines a vintage linguistic root with a contemporary, rhythmic suffix popular in 21st-century naming trends. The name evokes the image of the first light of day or a bright celestial body.
