Arial is a gender-neutral name of Hebrew origin, derived from the words "ari," meaning "lion," and "el," meaning "God." It literally translates to "lion of God." Originally used in the Bible as a synonym for the city of Jerusalem, Ariel has evolved over time. In Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," Ariel was a spirit, and in Disney's "The Little Mermaid," it was the title character. The name gained popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly after the Disney film. Today, Arial is a versatile name that transcends cultural boundaries, symbolizing strength and divine connection.
