The name Arya in Pop Culture

• Arya Stark character in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Game of Thrones" series
• Arya Drottningu Elven princess in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle
• Game of Thrones pronunciation: "ARE yuh." Author George R.R. Martin himself has pointed out that a surprisingly large number of people pronounce it incorrectly: it consists of two syllables, not three. Martin explained: "I say it 'Are,ya,' two syllables not three. Not 'are,ee,uh,' not like an operatic thing [aria], but 'Are,ya,' very sharp. I wanted something that was like a knife, that was a sharp and hard sound, to be a contrast to the flowery 'Sansa.'"
