What does the name Arrianna mean?
Arrianna is a spelling of Ariana, pronounced the same way, so it shares Ariana's meaning and origin.
Ariana is a modern simplification of Arianna and Ariane, which are forms of Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete in Greek myth. Wiktionary and Wikipedia report the traditional analysis of Ariadne as Cretan Greek ari-, 'most', and adnos, 'holy', but that reading is not certain. Wiktionary also notes a separate Latin Ariana for an ancient region of Iran and a folk link with Welsh arian, 'silver'. It is often confused with Adriana.
Ἀριάδνη (Ancient Greek, “Ariadne”)ἀρι- (Ancient Greek (Cretan), “most (traditional analysis)”)ἁγνός (Ancient Greek, “holy, pure (compare)”)
How sure is this? Uncertain. 'Most holy' is the traditional reading of Ariadne; it is not securely established.
Other explanations you may read: From Welsh arian 'silver'.
