Meaning and origin of Huriya
Huriya usually represents Ḥurriyya, the Arabic word for freedom, from the root ḥ-r-r, to be free; it is related to ḥurr, a free person. The same Latin spelling is sometimes used for Ḥūriyya, meaning houri-like, so it can represent two different Arabic names. Families usually make their meaning clear through the Arabic script they choose. Most often, though, parents pick it for its sense of liberty.
