ArchivesOrigin of these male A names?
I'll post what I do have, if anything, but I need help on these:
Abdiel : Servant of God, related to Abdullah?
Adriel : Sounds Hebrew or even Arabic to me
Alexandro : obviously a form of Alexander, but what is it's origin?
Alijah : some form of Elijah? Maybe even created?
Amari : ???
Amarion : ??? Is there someone famous with a name like this? I keep seeing variants everywhere.
Arman : I'm guessing it's another version of Armand and Armando, but what is it's origin?
Armani : ?? I'm sure it's popularity is due to the designer or something.
Arnav : Sanskrit?
Aryan : Surely this isn't like the Aryan race is it?
Ayden/Ayden : I'm guessing it's just a twist on Aidan, but I found a listing here at BtN which said that Aydin is a Turkish name meaning Enlightened, so could it be a form of that instead?

Amari:
1) African masculine name meaning 'strength' (from the Yoruba language in Nigeria)
2) Hebrew name meaning 'eternal'; i also found a site saying it was Indian with the same meaning (?!). both feminine.
3) Japanese feminine name meaning 'a little' or 'not a lot'
Amarion:
Saint-Amarian is what the French called St. Amarinus. Maybe this is related. I couldn't find a meaning of Amarinus.

Arman:
just a spelling variant, could be from France or Belgium, anywhere really.
Arnav:
Hindu name meaning 'ocean, sea' (masculine name)
Aryan:
it is a Hindu masculine name and it is related to the English word Aryan, because this English word is taken from the Sanskrit arya meaning 'noble'. This is thus also the meaning of the name Aryan.
It's all here: http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Aryans
by the way, i think it's possible that it could also be a spelling variation on the Dutch name Arjan, due to influence of the French language, especially in Belgium, where both Dutch (Flemish) and French are spoken. There is for example also the name Arjean as a result of this, although i saw a site translating it as French for 'silvery' (probably thinking it was from the French word argent which means 'silver'). But i think this is unlikely, because the name is more used in Dutch speaking areas than in France herself.

AMARI means "eternal"?
I doubt your source for this is reliable. There is no verbal root amar meaning "eternal" or anything of the kind.
Spelt with an Aleph it means "speak", and there is the personal name Amarja / Amarya ("God has spoken i.e. created" or "promised by God"). (Short form: Imri)
Spelt with an Ayin it means "collect/make sheaves" or else "attack, treat brutally". The name of king Omri (same verbal root) is supposed to be of Arabic origin (and obscure meaning).
The Hebrew words for "eternal/eternity" are "olam", "netzakh", "ad".

yes, i didn't trust it either, especially because another site said it was Hindu and meaning 'eternal' and i don't believe in coincidences.

ABDIEL: I think, you are right. Like Adriel, he is sometimes considered an archangel (not in the bible though) or one of the Seraphim.
"Abdiel (or Abiel): Abdiel is 6'2" tall with long straight platinum blond hair three inches below shoulders, elf-like grayish blue eyes, and gorgeous features. Abdiel is pictured on Milton's book Paradise Lost as the flaming seraph who routs rebel angels on the first day of fighting in Heaven, and make Satan's reel from his mighty sword stroke. He is a seraphim and ruler of the 9th Heaven."

In case he appears to tall, try this one:
"Abdiel: Just a couple of inches over five feet tall, this man could at first glance be taken for a child. His hair is dark and slightly tousled, his eyes a bright, faintly unreal shade of blue. He wears a well-tailored black suit which makes him resemble an extra from some supernatural version of 'Reservoir Dogs'. When he speaks, his voice is a pleasant, even melodius tenor."

ADRIEL is not a biblical name, but he appears as one of the seven (or sometimes twelve) archangles on various websites (http://www.sarahsarchangels.com/archangels/azrael.html). His name is from the Aramaic verbal root A-D-R (Ayin-Daleth-Resh) which corresponds to Hebrew A-Z-R (Ayin-Zayit-Resh), meaning "help". So the meaning is "God has helped / God helps", the same as Elazar (which in the New Testament appears as Lazarus).
ALEXANDRO: I don't know, what language this should be, because in Italian it's Alessandro and in Spain Alejandro. :—(
"ALIJAH" means "immigration" in Hebrew, literally "ascension". Whether this is a name, I don't know. In modern transscription to English it would be spelt with a Y rather than a J. (But so should Elijah, of which Alija could well be a variant, as you suggest).
ARMINI: There was a dicussion about this name a while ago, so check below or in the archive.
