It means girl or daughter (definitely not wife! Wife is amariya) in Hausa. But it's usually spelt "yarinya"

Yarinya means Lady

Karamar Yarinya means a small girl (one that has not attained puberty)

amarya means a new bride

By the way of all termiologies in Hausa why  this interest on the word yarinya  Huh  Huh  Huh  Huh

I think it means woman. I recall when I was serving in Minna and was always asked if I've got a Yarinya yet  Grin
