Origin
Meaning and history of Amarria
The name Amarria has its origins in the ancient Sanskrit language of India, dating back to around the 5th century BCE. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "amara," meaning "immortal" or "eternal," and likely referred to a divine or celestial being. The name may have been used to honor deities or revered individuals in early Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
During the classical period of Indian history, between the 3rd century BCE and the 6th century CE, the name Amarria gained popularity among the ruling and scholarly classes. It can be found inscribed on stone tablets and ancient manuscripts from this era, often associated with prominent philosophers, poets, and leaders.
One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Amarria is in the Amaravati Stupa, a renowned Buddhist monument in Andhra Pradesh, India, dating back to the 2nd century BCE. The name is believed to have been borne by a prominent Buddhist monk or scholar who contributed to the construction or preservation of this remarkable structure.
In the 7th century CE, an Indian scholar and philosopher named Amarria Bhatta made significant contributions to the field of logic and epistemology. His treatises on the nature of knowledge and reasoning were widely studied and influenced generations of thinkers in the Indian subcontinent.
During the Gupta Empire, which ruled over much of northern India from the 4th to the 6th century CE, the name Amarria was associated with several notable figures. One such individual was Amarria Devi, a renowned poet and courtier who served under the reign of King Samudragupta and is celebrated for her exquisite verses on love and devotion.
In the realm of Hindu mythology, the name Amarria is sometimes associated with one of the many forms of the goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva. According to some ancient texts, Amarria was said to be an embodiment of Parvati's immortal and divine essence, symbolizing her enduring presence and influence in the universe.
Over the centuries, the name Amarria has been carried by numerous individuals of note, including scholars, artists, and spiritual leaders. However, due to the vast expanse of time and the scarcity of historical records, it is challenging to identify additional specific individuals with certainty, as many names and details have been lost to the ages.

FAQ
Amarria: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Amarria?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 128 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Amarria going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,677,768 US residents.
Is Amarria a common name?
We classify Amarria as "Very Rare". It ranks above 68.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 130 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Amarria most popular?
The single biggest year for Amarria was 2005, when 19 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Amarria is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Amarria in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Amarria a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Amarria in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Amarria still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Amarria in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Amarria can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
