Meaning: Lamp of God; Candle; Light

Neriya is a lovely girl’s name of Hebrew origin, meaning “candle,” “light,” or “lamp of God.” In Jewish tradition, candles, often lit during religious occasions like Shabbat or Hanukkah, have many symbolic connections. For some believers of the Jewish faith, they represent the divine presence of God. For others, they may suggest joy. The flickering flame of a candle has much more meaning than meets the eye, but maybe that's something those named Neriya already know.
