What Does the Name Arielis Mean?
Arielis is a feminine name used mainly in Spanish-speaking communities. It is generally understood as a feminine form built on the Hebrew name Ariel, from Ari'el (אֲרִיאֵל), commonly explained as "lion of God," from ari ("lion") and el ("God"). That is the literal sense of the root name, and a name formed from it is usually given the same meaning. The ending -is gives the name a feminine shape, as in several other feminine names that end that way; it is a form-ending rather than a separate word with its own meaning.
The near neighbor Arelis is sometimes treated as the same name spelled differently, and sometimes as a separate name of unclear origin. If the two are related, the meaning would still be tied to the Ariel root; if they are not, the origin of Arielis is less certain.
Arielis Name History & Origins
The root name Ariel is ancient Hebrew. In the Hebrew Bible it is used as a poetic name for Jerusalem (Isaiah 29) and as the name of a man among the exiles who returned from Babylonia (Ezra 8). Later Jewish and Christian writings also gave the name to an angel, though angels named Ariel do not appear in the canonical scriptures. In English literature it is best known as the spirit Ariel in Shakespeare's The Tempest, written around 1611. English and other European use of Ariel as a personal name grew out of these religious and literary associations, and the name has been given to both boys and girls.
Arielis belongs to the feminine branch of the name that developed in the Spanish-speaking world, alongside forms such as Ariela and the similar name Arelis. It is found chiefly in Puerto Rico and other parts of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and Latin America. Its own history is short and mostly undocumented: it appears as a personal name in the twentieth century, and no older literary or religious text uses this exact form. Its structure follows a common Spanish pattern of taking a familiar name and adding a feminine ending, but whether Arielis grew directly from Ariel, from Ariela, or from Arelis has not been established.
