The baby name Ariela is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌɑːriˈɛlə/ — ah-ree-EL-uh.
Ariela is Hebrew in Origin.
Ariela is the feminine form of Hebrew Ariel (אריאל), a biblical name meaning "lion of God," from ari "lion" + El "God." In prophetic literature, Ariel is also used poetically for Jerusalem and is sometimes interpreted as "God's hearth/altar," giving the name a second, liturgical nuance. While Ariel was traditionally masculine in Hebrew, it became widely unisex in the modern era; Ariela (אריאלה) and Ariella developed as specifically feminine forms in Hebrew and in Jewish diaspora communities.
The name entered broader use in Spanish- and English-speaking countries in the late 20th century, aided by pop culture visibility of Ariel and its variants. Common variants include Ariella, Arielle (French-influenced), and unisex Ariel; diminutives and pet forms include Ari and Ella. Ariela blends a strong, leonine image with a gentle, lyrical -ela ending, making it both traditional and contemporary.
