Neriya

Neriya is a Hebrew given name, typically given to females. It is derived from the Hebrew roots "Ner" (נֵר) meaning "candle" or "light," and "Ya" (יָהּ) which is a shortened form of YHWH, the Tetragrammaton representing God. Therefore, Neriya can be interpreted as "God's light," "my light is God," or "candle of God."

The name is associated with concepts of illumination, guidance, and divine connection. It is commonly used in Jewish communities worldwide. While predominantly used for girls, instances of male individuals bearing the name are extremely rare. The popularity of the name has varied over time and geographical location.
