About Nuria
Deriving from the Catalan title for the Virgin Mary, Nostra Senyora de Núria , meaning "Our Lady of Nuria", this distinctive name is a popular choice in Spain and Portugal.
Nuria is a Spanish sanctuary which houses a shrine and statue of the Virgin Mary, and in this instance, the name is derived from Basque, likely meaning "place between the valleys", via the word Norra.
The name has a more layered history however, as it is also used as an Arabic name as an elaboration of Nur, meaning "light", and might have some Hebrew origins too as a feminization of Nuri or Nuriel, meaning "my fire" and "fire/light of God".
Pronounced NOOR-ee-uh.
As of October 2026, Nuria ranked #5864 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3605 in 2006.
