Arrianna is Greek, Italian in Origin.

Arrianna is a modern variant spelling of Arianna, the Italian form of Greek Ariadne. In Greek, Ariadne combines the intensive prefix ari- “very/most” with hagnos “pure, holy,” yielding the meaning “most holy” or “very pure.” Some also connect the shorter form Ariana to the ancient Persian toponym Ariana (“land of the Aryans,” hence “noble”), but for Arrianna the Italian–Greek lineage is the clearest source.

Documented as Arianna in medieval and Renaissance Italy - immortalized in Monteverdi’s Lamento d’Arianna - the name entered English use via classical revival and grew strongly in the late 20th century. The surge of Ariana in popular culture encouraged creative English spellings, of which Arrianna (double r, double n) is common. International variants include Arianna (Italian), Ariana (English/Spanish/Portuguese), Ariane and Arianne (French/German), and Ariadne (Greek). Nicknames and short forms include Ari, Aria, Ria, Ana/Anna, and Annie.
