origin and age of name arianna or ariana
My name is Arianna or Ariana. And so let me tell you a bit about myself and my connection to the name. My father was born in 1900 on the french side of st. maarten an island in the caribbean. I was born in 1948, my father had the task of naming me, so he search a dictionary and found the name ariella, he then decided to substitute ella with anna which was his sisters name. And so I ended up with the name Arianna, registered in 1948. Since then I have met other people with the name spelled both ways, and all my junior. I was wondering if indeed the name existed before my father made it for me. Please help me. A searching soul, Arianna - Ariana

About AriannaI found that Ariana means "full of life" at a website of muslim names. I'm curious about what the origin of the name for that particular meaning is? Any ideas?

Click on Ariana to find out about your name.Also, Ariana in Spanish means "from Aries". I have heard Ariana and the variant Ariane, several times. It is somewhat common in South America.I suppose, your name has special meaning, because of the way you got it. I would suggest that you take the meaning of the name Ariella, combined with the meaning of the name Anna and try to find a unique meaning for your name.:o) Good luck,
