Arisai
Ariszay is a respelling of the Biblical name Arisai (Esther, 9:9).
According to http://www.biblicalbabyname.com/item.cfm?itemid=32390, it is from Persian origin and means "lives among the Ari", but the part Ari- can mean Hari, Persian god as in Aridai (http://www.studylight.org/dic/hbd/view.cgi?number=T441).

Does anyone know anything about Hari the Persian God? Anything more definite than the web site, or something about the Persian text that (s)he appears in? Hari is used in some Persian words where the origin is debated: either derived from words for (flowing) water, or borrowed words for valley etc. In Indic, it derives from a colour word, possibly yellow-green, and one of its enormously varied set of meanings is indeed a god in the Hindu pantheon. I would be very interested in finding something more definite about a similarly named God of the Parsi pantheon.

I might be several light-years off target here, but what is the Hari in Hari Krishna? Is it the name of a separate god, an attribute of Krishna, something totally different?

Thanks, but that is in an Indian context, where hara (from a root meaning to steal) is the name of the destroyer and hari (from a root possibly meaning yellow/green) is the name of the protector. (kRSNa, for dark coloured, is a pastoral god identified with hari) But, I was interested hari in the Persian context.
Incidentally, the vocative term hare kRSNa is the common form, used in invoking the protector, though harikRSNa has been used historically as a name.
