About the name Ária

Wiktionary records Ária as a feminine name equivalent to the English Arya or Aria. The spelling coincides with the Portuguese word ária, borrowed from the Italian aria in the musical sense, but the origin of the name in Portuguese is uncertain. IBGE counts the form without the accent, Aria, because the census does not record accents. The name is almost always female, with records in every decade since 1940 and more people born from 2010 onward. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,202 people named Aria, with a median age of 14.
