- Varia is also an alternative spelling for "bareia" (βαρεία), the name of the grave accent used in Polytonic Greek script.
- The Varia Suit is an armor expansion used by Samus Aran in Nintendo's Metroid video game series.
In the television series Xena: Warrior Princess, Varia is at first the second-in-command of Queen Marga of the Amazons after Xena and Gabrielle's twenty-five year sleep. When Marga is killed by Prince Morloch, Xena trains her to become queen and together they defeat Morloch.
Varia is a skilled warrior, at one moment even receiving training from Ares. She also holds a grudge against Xena's daughter Eve, who murdered many Amazons as Livia (Eve). Varia's younger sister was one of them. She has put Eve on trial when she comes there and sentences her to death. Xena saves her daughter. After that she is anointed queen, but loses her this soon after she makes a deal with Bellerophon at the battle of Helicon. Most of Amazons were killed in this battle and it's unknown what became of Varia after this.
Varia is played by Tsianina Joelson.
