In Persian, Aria (آریا) means 'noble' or refers to the ancient Aryan people, making it a popular boy's name in Iran. In Hebrew, Ari means 'lion,' and Aria can function as a variant. In India, particularly in Sanskrit tradition, Arya denotes someone of noble character. The masculine use of Aria carries connotations of strength, nobility, and cultural heritage.
