I find it fascinating to read these origin comments. My name is Ariana Rae. And I go by ARae. I feel extra connected with my name now! Also, I must admit, although I am Italian… I never believed my name was.
ARIANA is an Persian/Iranian name. It came from Iranian origin "ARIAEE" and even they have similar male name called "ARIA\". And they pronounce it AAR - IA- NA.
Ariana is the old name of Afghanistan! That's the oldest name on earth, 50,000 yrs. It is not italian or Greek or Persian!... Everything is a LIE in a christian world.. Everything comes from Afghanistan, also the holy mother Maria (Mother of the Arians=Maa'Aria), she was kidnapped in Ariana/afghanistan by the greeks in the ancient.Best regards from europe.
ARIANA is a Persian name, probably the most Persian name there is. It actually means someone from the 'Arian' Tribe. (Arian sounds similar to Iran, doesn't it? That's where we got the name!) Arian actually means 'noble' and Ariana/Arianna is the feminine form.
