Sorayah

Meaning of Sorayah

Sorayah dances across the tongue like a shooting star—so-RAI-yah—bright and lyrical, with roots reaching back to Arabic and Persian skies where its name literally means “the Pleiades,” that cluster of seven sisters shimmering in the night. Picture a midnight bazaar lit by lantern glow; that’s the warm, starry energy it brings to every room. In the U.S., Sorayah has been quietly climbing baby-name charts, sending about a dozen or two little heroines into the world each year and hovering around the mid-900s in popularity. It’s a name with a poetic heartbeat, equal parts celestial wonder and down-to-earth charm—perfect for a girl destined to shine, guide, and maybe even outsparkle the disco ball at her cousin’s summer wedding.
