The name Ariel is most commonly thought of as a female name, although in the Bible it’s the name of a male angel. Of Hebrew origin, Ariel is usually said to mean “lioness of God,†and what’s not to love about that? The name also sometimes means “light of God†or “altar of God,†meanings which would be wholeheartedly embraced by Christian parents. Ariel also is the origin of a number of variant spellings and pronunciations, such as Arielle, Ariele, or Ariela. The name is also famously associated with Disney’s The Little Mermaid movie, as well as Shakespeare’s play The Tempest.
