Arriel
Arriel Origin and Meaning
Arriel is a masculine name with multiple possible origins and interpretations. It may be a variation of Ariel, which has Hebrew roots meaning 'lion of God' or 'God's altar.' The doubled 'r' gives it a distinctive appearance and slightly different pronunciation. The name carries celestial and mythological associations, as Ariel appears as a spirit in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' and as a character name in various literary works. In some cultures, it's associated with angelic qualities or ethereal elements. Arriel remains relatively uncommon, giving it a unique quality while still maintaining familiar sounds. Parents might choose this name for its melodic quality, spiritual undertones, or its balance of strength and elegance. While traditionally masculine in this spelling, variations of the name can be used across genders.
