The name Aryana is a modern English form of Ariana, which is the Latinization of the Greek name Ariadane. Ariadane is known from Greek mythology: she helped Theseus defeat the Minotaur and later married the god of wine, Dionysus.

Aryana -
keeping with the times

Aryana is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Aryana cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #672 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2014. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Aryana, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Aryana seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Aryana was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

special, but at home in many states

You may not know anyone named Aryana, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 36 states are home to women and girls named Aryana. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Aryana living in one state or another. If your name is Aryana and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones.

Aryana has 6 letters 
and begins with an A

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.

With six letters, the name Aryana is of average length.
