Arianah is in Origin.

Arianah is a modern English elaboration of Ariana/Arianna, using the fashionable -ah ending. Most scholars trace the root to Greek Ariadne via Latin and Italian Arianna; the elements mean “very/pure, holy,” yielding the customary sense “most holy.” Alternate interpretations sometimes connect the name to the ancient region Ariana in Persia or to Welsh arian “silver,” but these are secondary to the Greek lineage.

Usage reaches back to classical myth through Ariadne, Cretan helper of Theseus; the Italian form Arianna kept the name vibrant in medieval and Renaissance Europe (notably in Monteverdi’s Lamento d’Arianna). English adoption accelerated in the late 20th century, with a sharp rise in the 2000s, aided by pop-culture visibility. Arianah itself appears in U.S. records from the 1990s onward as a creative spelling. Variants include Ariana, Arianna, Aryana, Aryanna, Ariyana, Aaryana, Ariane, Arianne, Ariadna, and Ariadne; diminutives include Ari, Aria, Ana, and Riana.
