arriel is Hebrew in Origin.
Arriel is a modern, rare variant of Ariel, from Hebrew Ari’el (אריאל) meaning “lion of God”; in biblical usage it also denotes “God’s hearth/altar.” The name appears in the Hebrew Bible as both a personal name and a poetic epithet for Jerusalem (Isaiah 29). Through Greek and Latin transmission, Ariel entered European languages; Shakespeare’s airy spirit in The Tempest broadened awareness in English. In Hebrew contexts it remains chiefly masculine, while English usage is unisex and surged for girls after the 1989 film The Little Mermaid.
Arriel preserves the same meanings while offering a distinctive double‑r spelling. Related forms include Ariel, Arielle (French-influenced feminine), Ariella, Aryel, and Aryelle; short forms include Ari, Arie, and Riel, with Elle/Ella common for feminine use. Usage is uncommon across registries, making Arriel a subtle twist on a classic theophoric name with longstanding Jewish and Christian resonance.
