History & Origin

Arienne is a variant of Arianne, the French form of Ariane and ultimately of Greek Ariadne, 'most holy.' It first appears in United States records in the mid-1960s but, unusually for this group, stayed most active recently, reaching its small high around 2013. It has always been rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.

Because its peak is recent, Arienne reads as a fresh, elegant choice rather than a vintage name; a girl given it at that high is still young today. It fits the taste for -ienne and -anne endings alongside Vivienne and Adrienne, and may keep a small foothold as those names stay in style.

Did you know? Arienne traces to Ariadne, the Cretan princess of Greek myth who gives Theseus the thread out of the labyrinth.
