History & Origin

Ariyanah is one of the many spellings of Ariana in United States records from the 2000s. Its roots are the Greek Ariadne, 'most holy,' and the parallel Persian Aryana; the extra letters simply personalize a beloved sound.

The spelling stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its mid-2010s high. A girl named Ariyanah then is still a child or young teen now; Ariana remains fashionable while this variant stays uncommon.

Did you know? Ariyanah adds an -h to the Ariyana sound, but the root is unchanged: the Greek Ariadne, 'most holy.'
