Ariel is used in the bible as a symbolic name for the city of Jerusalem and is also the name of a Shakespearean (male) sprite in The Tempest. For girls, it enjoyed a considerable burst of popularity with the release of Disney's The Little Mermaid. Although its wave has crested, it's still a name any little girl would love. Ariel is also associated with the poetry of Sylvia Plath and with the Chilean-American writer Ariel Dorfman.
