Nazaria is the feminine form of Nazario, an Italian and Spanish name from the Latin Nazarius, meaning "from Nazareth", the Galilean town where Jesus grew up. It has been used in Catholic families for centuries but was almost unknown in the United States until recently. Nazaria jumped from around number 6000 in 2024 to number 1753 among girls' names in 2025, its highest rank by far.
