Ariani

Meaning of Ariani

Ariani is a feminine Italian name pronounced ah-ree-AH-nee (/a.ri.'a.ni/) that traces back to Arianna, the Italian form of the Greek Ariadne, meaning “most holy.” Its opening syllable aria evokes the Italian word for “song” or “air,” underscoring the name’s melodic character. In the United States, Ariani has gained modest traction over the past two decades—from fewer than ten newborns in 1999 to 45 in 2024, when it reached a rank of 905—reflecting a broader interest in Latin-flavored names that pair classical depth with contemporary style. With its blend of mythic heritage and lyrical resonance, Ariani offers families a name that feels both timelessly Mediterranean and distinctly modern.
