In the world, Uriah (Uriah 
, אוריה 
, Юрай 
) is quite a rare primarily masculine, but very seldom girly given name. The first name Uriah is characteristic of Jamaica, where it is quite a rare boy's name, the United States, where it is a rare male name, and Israel, where it is a rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in the United States, Nigeria, and Ghana. Very seldom, Uriah is the last name as well as the forename.
Uriah is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Uriah the Hittite , the biblical character, Matthew 1; Uriah Heep , the fictional character from David Copperfield; Uriah , the High priest of Israel, 2 Kings; Uriah , the operatic character in the opera The Eternal Road by Kurt Weill and Uriah Heep , the musical character in the musical Copperfield by Joel Hirschhorn,Al Kasha, among other works.
