What is the meaning of the name Arianna ?

The baby name Arianna is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced Common: air-ee-AN-ə (US) /ˌæriˈænə/; ah-ree-AN-ə (UK) /ˌɑːriˈænə/.

Arianna is Greek in Origin.

Arianna is the Italian form of the Greek Ariadne (Ariadnē), built from ari- “very, most” and hagnos “pure, holy,” yielding the sense “most holy” or “very pure.” Through Latin Ariadna and Italian Arianna, the name traveled into modern European languages; English usage favors both Arianna and the streamlined Ariana. While Ariana sometimes overlaps with Persian-rooted Aryana (“noble”), Arianna in the Italian-Greek line refers to the mythic Cretan princess who aided Theseus and embodies cleverness and devotion.

Documented in Italian records since the Renaissance, Arianna surfaces in Baroque libretti and madrigals, then gains broader anglophone traction in the late 20th century. Contemporary bearers include media entrepreneur Arianna Huffington, helping cement the double‑n spelling. Common variants and cognates: Ariadne, Ariadna, Arianne, Ariana, Aryana. Short forms and nicknames include Ari, Anna, Ria, and Aria, the last also functioning as a separate musical name.
