Arriela as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Arriela

What is the meaning of the name Arriela ?

The baby name Arriela is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ah-ree-EL-ah (IPA: /ɑː.riˈɛl.ə/ or /əˌriːˈɛlə/).

Arriela is Hebrew in Origin.

Arriela is a modern respelling of Ariela, the feminine form of the Hebrew name Ariel (Hebrew: Ari'el), whose root combines ari, "lion," with El, "God." The name is traditionally interpreted as "lion of God," with a secondary biblical sense tied to "altar/hearth of God," since Ariel is also a poetic name for Jerusalem in Isaiah. Adding the -a ending created a clearly feminine form in contemporary Hebrew and diaspora communities, and the double r in Arriela is a stylistic update without changing the meaning. Usual pronunciation is ah-ree-EL-uh.

In Jewish usage, Ariel was long masculine; in English it became unisex via Shakespeare's The Tempest, and feminine forms flourished in the late 20th century. Arriela remains rare but fits the popular -ella/-iela sound pattern. Related variants include Ariela (Hebrew/Spanish), Ariella (English), Arielle (French), and unisex Ariel. Short forms and nicknames include Ari, Ria, Ella, and Ellie.
