Origin: Persian

Meaning: Most holy, very sacred, pure one; Noble, of good family

Aryana is typically a girl’s name of Greek origin, meaning “most holy,” “very sacred,” and “pure one.” The melodic name is a variant of Ariana, from Ariadne, made famous by pop star Ariana Grande, who was inarguably blessed with heavenly vocals. In ancient Persian culture though, when Aryan tribes migrated to modern-day Iran, the region became known as Ariana or “the land of Aryans” from a Persian root that means “noble” or “of good family.” Parents will have no trouble making space in their hearts for baby Aryana, whose etymology has braced them for a life of beauty, grace, and—just maybe—music!
