Arieh is Hebrew in Origin.
Arieh (Hebrew: אריה) is a masculine Hebrew name meaning “lion,” drawn from the common Hebrew word for the animal. It appears in the Bible (2 Kings 15:25) as the name of a royal official, and has long been favored across Jewish communities, invoking the lion as a symbol of strength and the Tribe of Judah. The name persists in rabbinic and modern Hebrew, with steady use in Israel and the diaspora.
Common variants include Aryeh and Arye; Ari functions as a familiar short form, while Arie occurs as a diaspora spelling (distinct from Dutch Arie, usually short for Adrianus). Traditional double names such as Aryeh Leib (“lion” in Hebrew + Yiddish) are well attested. Related choices include Ariel (“lion of God”) and Lavi (“lion”), and cross‑cultural counterparts like Leo, Leon, and Russian Lev. Arieh carries connotations of courage, leadership, and protection.
