Its roots go back to the times of the ancient Hellenes. Some researchers consider it a simplified form of the name Ariadne, which means “immaculate,” “holy,” “devoted,” and “sacred.” Other linguists are convinced that its origins should be sought in the name of the ancient Greek god of war - Ares. Then Ariana is translated as “given to Ares.” There are other versions of the origin of this name. One of them connects Ariana with the name of a separate people - the Aryans, who previously inhabited the Black Sea coast.
