Arya 1

This name has been used for characters in fictional writings such as Arya Stark (A Song of Ice and Fire) and Arya Dröttningu (Inheritance Cycle).

Arya Aramnejad is an Iranian singer from Babol in the northern part of Iran. He became famous for his song "Ali Barkhiz" where he denounces the Islamic regime's crimes during the 2009 Ashura protests.

In GRR Martin's "Song of ice and fire", Arya is the name of the second daughter of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully.

Arya is the name of the Elven princess in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy (Eragon).

This is the name of one of the main characters in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, and I know of at least two girls who have been named after the character in the novel. I do not know if Mr. Martin took the character's name from the Sanskrit one or if he independently invented it, but he does pronounce his character's name as "AR-yuh".
