Ariane
Meaning of Ariane
Ariane (air-ee-AHN in English, ah-ree-AHN in French, ah-ree-AH-nuh in German) carries a whisper of ancient Greece—she’s a modern twist on Ariadne, the mythic heroine whose golden thread guided Theseus through the labyrinth. With a name meaning “most holy,” Ariane feels at once elegant and adventurous, as if woven from sunlight and promise. Though softly melodic, she’s quietly climbing the charts in the United States, charming parents with her continental flair and under-the-radar sophistication.
