Arieta is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Arieta blends Romance diminutive style with a lyrical root. It derives from aria, the Italian word for “air, melody,” with a Romance diminutive suffix (–eta/–etta/–ette), yielding the sense “little song” or “small aria.” Closely related forms include Italian Arietta and French Ariette; the Basque toponymic Arrieta (“stony place; quarry,” from harri “stone”) is a separate surname that sometimes influences spelling but not meaning as a given name.

Used as a first name only sporadically before the late 20th century, Arieta surfaces in musical circles and modern baby-name lists alongside Aria and Ariella. It remains uncommon in the U.S. and U.K., with modest use in Italy, Spain, and Latin America, and occasional adoption in English-speaking families seeking a melodic twist. Variants and diminutives include Arietta, Ariette, Ari, Ria, and Etta. The name’s prevailing interpretation is “little melody,” evoking grace, lightness, and artistic poise.
