It's a very beautiful name.
Other variants include Arianna, Ariane, Arianne, Arieana, Arionna, Arriana, Aryonna, and Aryanna. Nicknames include Ari, Aria, Ana, Anna.
The name is both an Italian simplification of the Greek name Ariadne ("most holy"; Cretan Greek αρι (ari) "most" and αδνος (adnos) "holy"), and a Welsh name meaning "silver" (derived from Welsh arian, "silver"). Ariana can also come from the root 'aria' meaning melody or song, in which case, the name would mean 'singer.' In Middle Persian languages, the name Ariana meant anyone born in Aryan territories, such as the Persian Empire (Iran), including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India.

I think that it's a beautiful name. I have a good friend named Ariana and she is so nice. Almost every middle name sounds good with it. It's just a great name.

I love the name. It is one I seriously considered when I was having a girl. I also like Adriana and Arabella which are a bit similar.
