| Hi, When I was in school I sponsored a little girl named Ariana.
She was from the country of Columbia. Maybe that's where the
name came from.
regards,
Liz

| Ariana could be of Greek derivation. When we named our daughter
Ariadne (which is greek), I recal running across references to
Ariana being an "alternate" type of name.

| As far as I know, Ariana was the name of a race. The white and blonde
people from the north of Europe. Ariana is a Portuguese/Spanish
spelling to Ariane.

| My book has Ariane, but not Ariana. Ariane is the French form
of Ariadne, which is from the Greek. Ariadne was a daughter of
Minos who helped Theseus escape from the Minotaur's labyrinth.
I assume Ariana is simply a Latin (Spanish, Italian, etc.)
form of either Ariane or Ariadne.
The other etymologies discussed here have some truth in them,
but probably aren't where the name comes from. The Northern
people are the Aryans. The Zodiac reference is to the signs
Aries (people under that sign are called Arians).
