Ariely is Hebrew in Origin.

Ariely is a modern elaboration of Ariel, from Hebrew Ari’el, combining ari “lion” with El “God,” hence “lion of God”; in prophetic poetry it can also mean “altar/hearth of God” as a title for Jerusalem. The -y ending reflects Romance-language styling, especially Brazilian Portuguese, where Ariely and Arieli are common feminine spellings, while in Hebrew Ariely/Arieli appears mainly as a surname.

As a given name, Ariely rose in late-20th-century Latin America under the vogue for -ely/-elly forms and the popularity of Hebrew-rooted names; in English-speaking countries it remains rare but familiar through the widespread use of Ariel, Arielle, and Ariella. Variants and cognates include Arieli, Arielys, Ariel, Ariele (Italian/Portuguese), Ariela, Arielle, Ariella; nicknames include Ari, Ellie, and Elly. Though largely feminine today, its base name Ariel is unisex in both Jewish and general usage.
