Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Ariana is traditionally interpreted as 'most holy', although its original meaning remains disputed.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ariana je podoba gréckeho mena Ariadné, doložená napríklad v portugalčine a angličtine. Ariadné sa tradične vykladá zo zosilňujúcej predpony ari- a krétskeho gréckeho adnos (svätý), teda ako veľmi svätá či najsvätejšia. Tento výklad nie je všeobecne prijatý; existuje aj hypotéza predgréckeho pôvodu.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Pôvod a medzinárodné podoby: Ariana a Ariadne, s odkazom na R. Beekesa, Etymological Dictionary of Greek (2010), s. 130, pri predgréckej hypotéze. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidla pre ženské mená na -a: Slovenská reč 1982/4. Domácke tvary sú slovotvorne možné návrhy, nie doložený rebríček obľúbenosti.
