History & Origin

Areion revives Arion, a name deep in Greek tradition: it belonged to a fabulous immortal horse in myth and to a historical poet credited with shaping early lyric song. As a modern American girl's name it is a rare, classically flavored choice, its e-spelling a contemporary touch.

It appeared only faintly around the turn of the two-thousands, given to about twenty girls a year at most. A girl named Areion then is in her twenties today.

Did you know? In Greek myth Areion, or Arion, was a divine horse said to be swift enough to outrun any pursuer, giving this rare name an unexpectedly heroic backstory.
