History & Origin

Aeriana respells Ariana, the Italian form of Ariadne (Greek, 'most holy'). The Ae- spelling lends an airy overtone while preserving the parent meaning — a decorative American variant.

It was always rare — a few dozen girls a year around 2010 — one ornate spelling among the many that rode the Ariana wave.

Did you know? Ariana descends from Ariadne of Greek myth, keeper of the thread through the Labyrinth; Aeriana keeps that 'most holy' meaning while hinting at 'air.'
