History & Origin

Aerianna is one of many respellings of Ariana, the Italian form of the Greek Ariadne, 'most holy'. As Ariana surged in American popularity, creative spellings such as Aerianna, Aeriana and Aryanna appeared, the Aer- opening lending an airy touch.

This spelling was always uncommon - only a few dozen girls a year at its peak around 2010 - and reads as a late-millennial choice. Ariana and Arianna remain the familiar forms, while Aerianna has stayed a distinctive rarity.

Did you know? Ariana traces to Ariadne, the Cretan princess of Greek myth who gave Theseus the thread to escape the Minotaur's labyrinth - a heroine hidden inside a sweet modern name.
