Origin and meaning of Aria
Aria, in Italian, means both the air we breathe and the solo melody of operatic song: a name evoking lightness, music and freedom. Its roots lie in the Latin aer and in the Italian operatic tradition. Short and luminous, in recent years it has become hugely popular in the English-speaking world, where it ranks among the most chosen girls' names, and it is admired in Italy too. Its appeal is an airy sound and an image of grace.
