Ariella, the feminine form of Ariel, is derived from the Hebrew elements ari, meaning "lion," and el, meaning "God." Therefore, it translates to "lion of God," or in this case, "lioness of God." In the Old Testament, Ariel was one of the names given to the city of Jerusalem, making Ariella a common biblical name for girls. It first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 in 2008 and has been a top 250 girl's name since 2020. It's also the name "Sister Wives" stars Robyn and Kody Brown gave their daughter, Ariella Mae.
