Aarya is more commonly given to girls than boys in the United States, and has declined in use since the 2000s. There are approximately 3,000 people named Aarya in the US today.
The name Aarya's root letters are AR.
The AR name root suggests a personality that takes itself rather seriously, and perhaps the influence of the drawn-out aar sound must take credit for this brand of confidence. After all, this sound is the key component of words like father, awe, arbiter, archangel, aristocracy, Armageddon, and arrogance. The autocratic A and royal, red-blooded letter R renders them the kings and queens of whatever domain they inhabit, and they wear their autonomy with haughty grace. These individuals walk with their heads held high and their steps heavily measured.
But lest you feel intimidated in the Aaryas’ presence, there’s a trick you can use to gain their eternal affections: they’re suckers for expensive gifts and wild nights on the town. Oh, and nothing pleases Aaryas more than finding someone who agrees with their opinion. When stroked, coddled and spoiled, Aaryas will return the favor tenfold. So if you’ve done your homework on the AR ego, you can expect them to behave with consideration, thoughtfulness and loyalty.
With all this jaunty self-confidence, Aaryas tend to ignore criticism that comes their way. It's not that they're particularly arrogant (in fact Aaryas can be quite approachable) it's simply that they’re quite certain that they’re a little better than everyone else. But they’re more than willing to forgive an indiscretion committed by a critic; after all, anyone (except an AR) can have a bad day.
In the working world, the AR’s combination of aggression and sensitivity goes a long way in furthering their choice of career, which often involves management or money-handling of some kind. People respond positively to their warm, direct (if sometimes pushy) leadership styles, but as long as the Aaryas are running the show, they’ll be as happy as clams at high tide. The arts have a strong pull on the Aaryas, though it might be said that their enthusiasm is stronger than their abilities. Still, a trifling thing such as lack of talent would never prevent Aaryas from doing exactly what they wanted, and you’ll often find them practicing hard on their latest artistic or musical endeavors. It’s usually through determination – rather than aptitude – that they manage to leave their mark in the creative fields and they fulfill the adage about practice making perfect to an impressive degree.
When it comes to their intimate relationships, Aaryas tend to have many irons in the fire, that it’s hard to get their attentions. So if you’re expecting an attentive listener you may want to look elsewhere. It’s not that the AR don’t care about your problems; it’s just that they have a lot on their minds and aren’t particularly skilled at multi-tasking.
