Eriella

Meaning of Eriella

Eriella, pronounced eh-ree-EL-uh (/ɛrɪˈɛlə/), derives from the Hebrew Ariella—feminine form of Ariel—through the concatenation of ari (“lion”) and el (“God”) with the feminine suffix -a, thus semantically denoting “lioness of God” and suggesting attributes of divine strength and poised refinement. Within the Anglo-American onomastic framework, its phonological profile, characterized by penultimate stress and a sequence of liquids and vowels, aligns with prevailing English stress patterns, while longitudinal analysis of U.S. Social Security data from 2012 to 2024 reveals a steady yet modest utilization, with annual occurrences ranging from five to fourteen and national rankings oscillating between 930th and 958th. Although its absolute frequency remains low, Eriella’s recurrent appearance in the upper nine-hundreds of the popularity index underscores a discreet appeal among parents seeking a name that combines etymological depth, phonetic clarity, and uncommon distinction.
