Ariella is the feminine of Ariel, from the Hebrew meaning "lioness of God" — a name of courage and light.
Warm and a little regal, it has risen alongside other -ella names like Isabella and Gabriella, while its meaning gives it real substance beneath the pretty sound.
With nicknames Aria and Ella built in, Ariella is both graceful and quietly bold.
Ariella does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Ariella reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
