Tips

usage

迦利亚 is a religious-style transliteration. The character 迦 is reserved almost exclusively for Buddhist and Biblical proper nouns (compare 迦南 'Canaan', 释迦 'Shakya'). It can render 'Galia/Galya' (Slavic), 'Gallia' (Latin for Gaul), or biblical names beginning Ga-. Standard female-name ending: -亚 renders -ia.
