What is the meaning of the name Ben-Arieh ?

The baby name Ben-Arieh is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced BEN-ah-REE-eh (IPA: /bɛn aˈri.e/).

Ben-Arieh is Hebrew in Origin.

Ben‑Arieh is a Hebrew compound name from ben, “son [of],” and arieh, “lion” (אריה), yielding the meaning “son of the lion” or “son of Arieh.” The lion in Jewish tradition symbolizes bravery, leadership, and the tribe of Judah, so the name carries connotations of strength and noble protection. Pronounced ben ah-ree-eh.

Both elements are biblical: ben functions as the standard patronymic marker throughout the Tanakh, and Arieh appears as a personal name (2 Kings 15:25). In modern Hebrew, hyphenated Ben‑ names flourished with the revival of Hebrew; Ben‑Arieh is well established as an Israeli surname and is also used, though less commonly, as a masculine given name in Israel and the Jewish diaspora. Variants and related forms include Ben‑Ari/Ben Ari, Ben‑Aryeh/Ben Aryeh, Ben Arieh, and the standalones Arieh/Aryeh and Ari. Nicknames: Ben, Benny, Ari; rare feminine parallel: Bat‑Arieh.
