History & Origin

Arienna respells Arianna, the Italian form of the Greek Ariadne, 'most holy.' Ariadne is famed in myth as the Cretan princess who helped Theseus escape the Minotaur's maze.

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year around its late-two-thousands peak, riding the broader Ariana and Arianna revival. A girl named Arienna then is a teenager today.

Did you know? Behind the modern spelling stands Ariadne of Greek myth, the princess whose thread guided Theseus out of the labyrinth.
