Daria (also written as Darya) is an ancient name of Persian origin meaning "wealthy." It is derived from Darius (from Persian: داريوش Dariush, IPA: [dɒrjuʃ]). Daria is a saint of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. In today's Persian, Darya can also mean "sea".

The name has been used extensively in Russia and other Slavic countries. The common Russian nickname is Dasha. It has sometimes also been seen as a Russian form of the name Dorothy. Dolly, a diminutive of Dorothy, was also once a common nickname for Daria.[1] The name is also used among Iranians, especially those who live near the Caspian sea.

Additionally, Daria Morgendorffer was the titular character on an MTV animated television series that aired from 1997 to 2002.
