Aeriel Origin and Meaning

The name Aeriel is a girl's name.

Aeriel is a variant spelling of Ariel, which has diverse origins including Hebrew (meaning 'lion of God'), Shakespeare's character in 'The Tempest,' and the mermaid character from later popular culture. This particular spelling adds an ethereal quality through the added 'e,' evoking associations with air and the aerial. The name has a distinctly feminine feel in modern usage, though historically it appeared as both masculine and feminine. Aeriel offers a more unique option than the standard Ariel spelling, which gained significant popularity following Disney's 'The Little Mermaid.' The name suggests qualities of lightness, spirituality, and otherworldliness, appealing to parents seeking a name with both substance and fantasy elements.
