Aryanna is a modern spelling of Arianna, the Italian form of Ariadne, a Greek name that means "most holy" or "very pure"; in Greek myth Ariadne gave Theseus the thread that led him out of the labyrinth. The spelling with a y follows Aryana and Arya and became common in the 2000s. Aryanna sat at number 899 in 2000, peaked at number 530 in 2012 and has since fallen out of the top 1000 to number 2157 in 2025.
