Ariana: meaning and origin
Ariana goes back to Ariadne, the princess of Greek myth. Behind the Name treats it as the Portuguese form of Ariadne, and Wikipedia calls it the Latinized form, with the meaning “most holy”. Wikipedia also notes it is sometimes used as a Welsh name, built on arian, “silver”, and that Ariana was a classical name for a region of ancient Iran.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name lists the English spellings Aryana and Aryanna, and Wikipedia says Arianna and Ariane are the two most common variations. Ari is the obvious everyday short form, though neither source lists it formally.
Famous people named Ariana
Ariana Grande starred as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious before her debut album went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200; she is known for a four-octave vocal range and played Glinda in Wicked (2024), which earned her an Academy Award nomination. Ariana DeBose won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, the first Afro-Latina to win an acting Oscar.
Is Ariana a popular name?
Ariana is a 21st-century name. US Social Security data has it at 167th in the 1990s, 85th in the 2000s and 58th in the 2010s, when more than 41,300 American girls were named Ariana. Wikipedia says its best single year was 2014, at 30th, so most Arianas are still children or young adults.
Ariana trivia
In Greek myth, Ariadne was the Cretan princess who helped Theseus escape the Minotaur, only to be abandoned by him on the island of Naxos. Wikipedia says the god Dionysus found her there and married her, and many versions of the story say he threw her jeweled crown into the sky, where it became the constellation Corona Borealis.
