    Etymology

    () Modern simplification of Arianna, Ariane and Arianne, all forms of the Greek name Ariadne ("most holy"; Cretan Greek αρι (ari) "most" and αδνος (adnos) "holy").*Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges: A Concise Dictionary of First Names. Oxford University Press 2001. There has been some confusion with the similar sounding and equally fashionable Adriana and Adrienne. Derivation from Welsh arian "silver" is a folk etymology.
