Blegh! This looks terrible, Ariana or Arianna would be a better choice. Also this is way too close to “Aryan” for my comfort.

"Arya" is a Sanskrit (ancient language from the Indian peninsula) word for "honorable". "Aryan" is a word used to refer to inhabitants of the ancient region called "Aryavart" that spanned between modern day Iran and modern day Northern India. It is only in the 20th century that term "Aryan" took on a more racist slant due to the works of germanic proponents of racial superiority. But inherently, the word are is a descriptor of an entire culture that developed in the period before 500BC, and is often referred to ones who uphold the values of honor and service in society. Aryana, Aryaana, Aryanaa are all female derivates, just the way Aryan is a male derivative for the root word Arya. Other examples include, "Arya Samaj" which was a reform movement in India that promoted the core teachings of the ancient Vedic texts. Unfortunately, in modern day western media, the word and its roots have taken a very negative meaning due to the nazis and neo-nazis.

This is my middle name. I've gotten a lot of Ariana Grande comments, which I actually don't mind despite me not being too interested in her as a person. It's better than the constant mispronunciations of my first name, at least.
For those of you who say it reminds you of the word "aryan". Sucks for you, that sounds like a you problem. If that's the first thing your mind goes to when you see a name that's literally just a barely different spelling of Ariana, then I'm more concerned about you than whoever names their child this/anyone who has this name. It isn't related to the word aryan in any way, and I've literally never even heard that comparison before.
Please, check yourself before you insult or degrade someone for what YOU think their name SOUNDS like.

Lovely name but I dislike this spelling. Arianna is my favorite.

Unfortunately I was born with the intentions of my name meaning to be racist. My deceased parents were a part of that idiotic Klan. I have a rational mind and a kind heart and didn't understand how these so called "Christians" believed they were the supreme race. Luckily, my dad changed his ways and made them kick him out by claiming to be wicken. He wasn't but they threatened to burn our house down with us inside. He helped a man get back on the road as well as buy a needy man in a wheelchair a carton of cigs. I was 9 at the time, just before my mom passed. Anyways, I view my name differently not how it was given because it is my name! I get compliments everywhere I go. It has a meaning of Noble and Pure woman. It stands to be true. Despite all the wrong upbringing I am my own heart, soul, and mind. I'm 24 and think for myself. I am empathetic and kind to all. Anyone with this name should embrace the true and peaceful meaning.

Reminds me too much of the word "Aryan".

My name is ARYANA. Spelt with a Y. There is no certain way to spell it but there is a common way to spell it, making the Aryana’s with a Y unique. Stop commenting to spell it with an I because there are plenty other websites where a definition of the name Ariana, Arianna, can be found. Let the Aryana’s get their definition too.

Use Arian(n)a instead of this, please.

Actually the word "Aryana" is of Iranic origins. The Iranic people - or how it is pronounced in old Persian : "Arya" - are Persians, saythians, Medians and other lingu-ethnically related people who lived in the region between southern Russia, east European lands to the south of today Iran. The people who lived in ancient Persia called themselves Aryan. The feminine form of the word is "Aryana" or "Ayryana" and refers to the "land" where those Aryans lived. Darius, the great the Persian king of the Achaemenid dynasty has described himself in a 2500 year old inscription : "I am a Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, from the Aryan nation". In Avesta, the holy book of the ancient Iranian religion, "Zoroasterianism" the land of Persian people and their cousins has been called "Aryana" which means the land of Aryans. Later as old Persian language transformed to middle Persian through a millennium, the word "Aryana" changed first to "Ayrian" and then "Eran" or "Iran".

Spelling Ariana this way makes me think of neo-Nazis and other racist morons.

My name is Aryana and aryans are just a group of people. Aryana is no where related to being racist like you people are being by adding these negative comments. And this name is not considered ghetto, white, black, or Mexican. Aryana is simply just a name and also means "pure and noble woman" or "most holy". My name is Aryana and I'm proud of what my name means and you can't change that.

If you name your daughter this you will be considered neo nazi, so keep the spelling as Arianna or Ariana.

I named my daughter this in 2007. I pronounce it "Are-E-awn-ah". And being Native American, if someone looks at my child and thinks "neo-nazi" then that's fine, they can be ignorant if they want to be. I preferred this spelling over any of the others. I think because I like the "Y" considering I named my son Zayne.

Aryana originates from the Greek mythology name ARIADNE. Since Sanskrit is believed to be the origin of many European languages including Greek, you can find this name in Sanskrit scripts. In Sanskrit, Aryana means a noble and pure woman.
The name of a region in greater Persia might have been Ariana, Arianna, Aryanna, or Areyanna. But that is irrelevant of the meaning and origin of this name.
This name has Sanskrit and Greek origins, and it exudes beauty, feminine energy, and class.
I see this name among many Albanians, Italians, Germans, Persians, and some Russians.

It has "Aryan" in it! Sounds like something neo-Nazis would name their daughter.

Sorry, the unfortunate spelling makes it look like something a white supremacist would name their child. I actually remember reading an article about a neo-nazi couple who had a baby Aryana. Aryana gives me the shudders.

Am in total agreement with Irish Pearl on this one. If Hitler had a daughter, he may have named her this. The 'Ariane' names are very pretty but this one was crafted by someone with a pretty bad knowledge of twentieth-century history.

Ach. Just spell names correctly. Modernized names are aggravating.

I wouldn't name a child this. For one, it has the word "aryan" within it, and that immediately makes me think of neo-nazis and other "White Race" groups. While I do like the modernizing of traditional names by changing a letter to "y" (Erin -Eryn, Megan -Megyn, April -Apryl, Lindsay -Lyndsay), I don't think it works for this name.

Ariana is an Italian name which means a holy female.
Aryana is an Iranian name which means an independent powerful girl...
So pleeeeeeeaaaaassse don't say they're the same.
My name is Aryana and I admire the spelling and the meaning.
My family and I chose to be Aryana (an independent powerful girl) and not a holy one.
