Arianah
Arianah Origin and Meaning
Arianah is a modern feminine name, an elaborated variant of Ariana, which derives from Greek origins meaning 'very holy' or 'pure.' The additional 'h' adds a distinctive touch to the spelling while preserving the original pronunciation. Ariana itself connects to ancient mythology through Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos who helped Theseus navigate the labyrinth. This contemporary spelling emerged primarily in the early 21st century, as parents sought unique variations of popular names. While less common than Ariana, which gained significant popularity in the 1990s and 2000s, Arianah offers the same melodic quality and classical roots with a personalized spelling. The name's flowing sound and positive connotations of purity and divinity continue to attract parents seeking a name that sounds both elegant and modern.
