History & Origin
Arriah is a respelling of Aria/Ariah, doubling the r for effect. Aria is the Italian word for air and, in music, a melody or solo; Ariah also glances at the Hebrew Ariel, lion of God. This spelling appears in United States records from the mid-2000s, reached a modest high in the mid-2010s as Aria soared, and stayed rare in this form. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Arriah from the mid-2010s is still young today, riding the Aria wave of that decade. It is not a distinct revival; parents who love the sound almost always choose the mainstream Aria or the simpler Ariah.
