About Saroya
A contemporary yet regal feeling option with multicultural appeal, Saroya could be linked to the starry Soraya, sunny Surya, floral Saroja, and to the royal Sara. It has been notably borne by retired ice hockey player Saroya Tinker and also appeared as the name of a recurring character in the show Star-Crossed.
Occasionally used for girls in the US since the 90s, 2024 saw it climb significantly, when it was given to 42 babies, possibly owing to its use in the best selling fantasy series Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole.
Pronounced suh-ROY-uh.
As of October 2026, Saroya ranked #1497 in US births in 2025 SSA.
