What Does the Name Aryanna Mean?
Aryanna is an English spelling of the feminine name Arianna, which is the Italian form of the Greek name Ariadne (Ἀριάδνη). The customary meaning of Ariadne is "most holy" or "very holy," from the Greek intensive prefix ari- ("most," "very") and a second element often identified with hagnos (ἁγνός), "pure, holy," or with the related form adnos, "holy."
The derivation is not completely certain. Because Ariadne is an old name from Greek myth, some scholars have suggested a pre-Greek origin, and the second element has been connected with more than one word. The meaning of Aryanna is therefore the traditional meaning attached to Ariadne and passed through Arianna, not a separate English invention. The y and double n are features of the English spelling, not of the Greek or Italian forms.
Aryanna Name History & Origins
Ariadne belongs to Greek myth. She was the daughter of King Minos of Crete and Pasiphae, and in the familiar story she gives Theseus a thread so that he can escape the labyrinth. She appears in Greek literature, including Homer's Odyssey, and later in Latin writing. Early Christians also knew the name through Saint Ariadne of Phrygia, a martyr venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
The Italian form Arianna developed from Ariadne, and the related form Ariana is used in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese as well as in Latinized European writing. English speakers adopted Arianna and Ariana as given names. Aryanna is one of several English spellings that replace the i with y while keeping the double n of Arianna.
Aryanna's own history is mainly the history of this spelling. It is a feminine name used in English-speaking countries, while its older and more widely documented forms are Ariadne in Greek and Latin and Arianna in Italian.
