===Notes:===
===Notes:===
Zaria is the name of the pagan Russian goddess of the dawn, depicted in Russian folklore as a beautiful maiden. More importantly to the heralds (since we can't register names that were only used by gods), it is documented as a man's (!) name in Wickenden as Zaria and Zara. So convincing the Heralds to register it as a woman's name might be tricky, despite the fact it is grammatically feminine and the name of a female goddess. But I have developed a couple strategies for this problem.

Zarya is the name of many places in Russia and Ukraine, all of them very small. The few that give dates of founding were all established in the 20th century after the Russian Revolution (aka Red/Beautiful Dawn), or renamed after the revolution (two in Ukraine).

Notes:

Zaria is the name of the pagan Russian goddess of the dawn, depicted in Russian folklore as a beautiful maiden. More importantly to the heralds (since we can't register names that were only used by gods), it is documented as a man's (!) name in Wickenden as Zaria and Zara. So convincing the Heralds to register it as a woman's name might be tricky, despite the fact it is grammatically feminine and the name of a female goddess. But I have developed a couple strategies for this problem.

Interestingly, the word zaryanka (robin) is related to zarya according to Dal'... Wickenden documents Zaranko as a men's name (diminutive of Zaran)... I should be able to document a/ia switches, plus the well-established o/a switches...

Zara meaning zarya is attested in Sreznevskii to 1097. Zarya is attested (ibid) to 1073 and includes more general meaning - glow, light, etc, in addition to utrennaya zarya (and vechernaya zarya). No zaryanka, though. Not in Wickenden, either. :-(
