Kamaria is a Swahili name meaning 'moon', revered in many cultures for its influence on tides and marking time, and associated with fertility, wisdom, and beauty. It was traditionally given to East African girls born under the full moon or during lunar eclipses, and has been carried by strong women like Queen Nzinga Mbande of Ndongo and Matamba. Today, Kamaria is popular worldwide, often chosen for its unique sound and the qualities it embodies.
