[Facts] Ariala?

I visited this baby-name website once, (can't remember which one) and they had the name Ariala which meant 'song'. Is this true? I recently read here that some websites make meanings up.

Yes, it is true that "baby name" sites make up and/or change meanings to suit themselves.I can't think of a language in which Ariala would mean 'song' - do you remember whether they gave an origin?

I have never heard of this name, but in Italian "aria" can mean "song" (literally "way to sing"), the -la part could be a diminutive or just a fancyful ending.
