Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno je prevzaté zo starogréckeho Ἀριάδνη (Ariádnē), jeho pôvod však nie je jednoznačný. Tradične sa vykladá zo zosilňujúcej predpony ἀρι- (ari- = „veľmi“) a krétskej podoby ἀδνή (adnē), zodpovedajúcej gréckemu ἁγνή (hagnē = „čistá, posvätná“), teda ako „veľmi čistá“ či „najsvätejšia“. Časť bádateľov pokladá meno za predgrécke, pravdepodobne minojské.
