Jariyah is a name of mixed background. In Arabic jariyah means "flowing" or "ongoing", as in sadaqah jariyah, a charity whose benefits keep flowing, and it was also an old word for a young girl; in the United States it works just as well as a blend of the Ja- opening and the -riyah ending of names like Zariyah. Jariyah reached number 2198 in 2013, has moved between 2500 and 3500 since and stands at number 2372 in 2025.
