History & Origin

Ariauna is one of many creative spellings of Arianna that appeared in United States records from the early 1990s, as parents personalized a popular sound. Its root is the Greek Ariadne, 'most holy,' by way of the Italian and Spanish Ariana.

The name stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its mid-2000s high before easing off. A girl named Ariauna then is in her late teens or twenties now; the base name Ariana remains fashionable even as this spelling stays uncommon.

Did you know? Behind the unusual -auna spelling stands Ariadne, the Cretan princess of Greek myth who gave Theseus the thread out of the labyrinth.
