Ariel is a name with deep biblical roots, derived from the Hebrew words "Ari," meaning "lion," and "el," signifying "God." Originally used as a male name, Ariel has evolved to be commonly used for females in English-speaking countries. The name gained significant popularity after the Disney film "The Little Mermaid" featured a character named Ariel. This transformation reflects the name's adaptability and its ability to symbolize strength and divinity. Ariel is also associated with the city of Jerusalem and is mentioned in the Old Testament, adding to its historical significance.
