Aricely is Spanish in Origin.

Aricely is a modern respelling of the Spanish feminine name Aracely/Araceli, ultimately from Latin ara "altar" + caeli "of heaven." The compound was popularized in Spain as a Marian epithet, Nuestra Señora de Araceli ("Our Lady of the Altar of Heaven"), especially venerated in Lucena, Andalusia, and carried to the Americas through Spanish devotion. The sense is "heavenly altar" or "altar of the sky," with a gentle, luminous religious undertone.

As a contemporary form, Aricely reflects the rise of Ari-names and English-influenced orthography, and is encountered chiefly in U.S. Latino communities since the late twentieth century. Close variants include Araceli, Aracely, Aracelly, Ariseli, Arisely, and Arizely; the rare masculine counterpart is Aracelio. Short forms such as Ari and Cely are common. Though much less frequent than Araceli/Aracely, Aricely remains fully intelligible as part of this name family.
