About the name
Soraya is Persian — the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters star cluster — worn by a beloved twentieth-century Iranian queen whose sad story only deepened the name's glamour across the Middle East and Latin America.
Rare in America, Soraya offers an entire constellation rather than a single star.
Three velvet syllables (soh-RY-ah). It pairs well with simple middles (Soraya Jane, Soraya Ruth). On our vibe map it is Celestial at cluster-grade with Cultural Fusion crown jewels and Mythological sisters — seven stars, one name.
