Ariadne comes from the Greek Ariádnē (Ἀριάδνη), meaning "most holy" — from ari (intensifier) and hagnos (holy, pure). In Greek mythology, Ariadne was the princess of Crete who gave Theseus the ball of thread that allowed him to escape from the Labyrinth after killing the Minotaur.
Ariadne is rising in the U.S. — propelled by the character Ariadne in Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010, played by Elliot Page). Today it sits in the U.S. top 600 and is climbing.
Ariadne reduces to one — the number of holding the thread.
