Origin: Persian
Meaning: Very holy; Pretty Eastern girl
Aryana is typically a girl’s name of Persian and Greek origins, meaning “very holy” and “pretty Eastern girl.” The melodic name is a variant of “Ariana,” 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.” 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!
