Comments for the name Arianna

Arianna was the name of the female half of the Spartan Cheerleaders on Saturday Night Live, played by Cheri Oteri.

One famous bearer of Arianna (the only one I know of, actually) is Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington. She's a writer, I believe she wrote a biography of Picasso, and now she's some sort of political pundit. I see her on TV every now and again. Her full name is quite a jawbreaker.

L'Arianna is one of the first operas, written by Claudio Monteverdi. It is based on the Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus and is mostly lost except for one piece, Lamento d'Arianna, or Arianna's Lament, a very touching aria. This is personally one of my favorite names and has been for as long as I can remember. It looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, and has a nice meaning.

Arianna is also a 3-year old princess of the Netherlands.

The actress who plays Cat on the t.v. show Victorious (on Nick=) real name is Ariana ~it might be spelled different but I think that's right.

Arianna Huffington is an American author and columnist. She runs the famous news website huffingtonpost.com.
