Across the world, Karija (Karija 
, Кария 
) is a rare primarily feminine, but scarcely boy's forename. The forename Karija is characteristic of Kyrgyzstan, where it is quite a rare predominantly female, but scarcely male name, Kazakhstan, where it is a rare unisex name, and Philippines, where it is a very rare girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Kyrgyzstan, and Indonesia. Much less frequently, Karija is the last name as well as the forename.
