What is the meaning of the name Arielle ?

The baby name Arielle is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-ree-EL (commonly pronounced /ˌɑːriˈɛl/ or /ˌæriˈɛl/; also heard as air-ee-EL).

Arielle is Hebrew in Origin.

Arielle is the French feminine form of Ariel, from the Hebrew Ari’el, meaning “lion of God” (sometimes interpreted as “altar hearth of God”). In the Hebrew Bible Ariel appears as a poetic name for Jerusalem and as a personal name, lending the root both sacred and leonine overtones. French pronunciation is ah-ryel; in English it’s often ar-ee-EL, with Ari used widely as a nickname.

Usage in the Anglophone world grew after Shakespeare’s Tempest popularized Ariel as a given name, and Arielle took hold in French and English in the mid‑20th century, rising sharply in the late 1980s–90s alongside pop‑culture visibility. Notable bearer: French-American performer Arielle Dombasle. Close variants include Ariella, Ariela, and Ariele (Italian). Related masculine/unisex Ariel remains common in Israel, Spain, and Latin America. Short forms include Ari, Elle, Ellie, and Ella.
