Full Meaning of Bariya

Bariya is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means innocent and blameless. It is derived from the B-R-Hamz (to be innocent, to create) root which is used in many places in the Quran.

And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said to his father and his people: “Verily, I am innocent of what you worship. (Quran 43:26)

Say: “What could most weightily bear witness to the truth?” Say: “God is witness between me and you; and this Qur’an has been revealed unto me so that on the strength thereof I might warn you and all whom it may reach.” Could you in truth bear witness that there are other deities side by side with God? Say: “I bear no [such] witness!” Say: “He is the One God; and I am innocent of what you ascribe divinity to beside Him!” (Quran 6:19)
