Morriah

Morriah is a feminine name that appears to be a modern variant of Moriah, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'chosen by God' or referring to the mountain where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac in biblical accounts. The doubled 'r' gives this spelling a distinctive appearance while maintaining the same melodic pronunciation. Morriah combines spiritual heritage with contemporary styling, appealing to parents seeking names with religious significance but a modern twist. While less common than similar names like Mariah or Maria, Morriah carries a gentle strength and exotic quality. The name evokes images of ancient sacred places while its flowing sounds create a feminine, graceful impression.

Pronounced mor-Y-uh.

As of October 2026, Morriah ranked #18432 in US births in 2013 SSA, peaked at #12149 in 1986.
