Girl name · 29 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Aryana: 29 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2016.
A name radiating modern elegance, Aryana is primarily a variant of Ariana, which itself derives from the Greek Ariadne, meaning 'most holy', and is also linked to the Old Persian Airyana, meaning 'noble' or 'land of the Aryans'. In Scottish contexts, it has grown in popularity as a melodic, international choice. The most famous bearer is the powerhouse pop star Ariana Grande, whose worldwide fame has brought immense attention to the name. While not a direct place name, the Persian root connects it to the historical region of Ariana, an ancient term for parts of modern Afghanistan and Iran. A further note of interest: Aryana's spelling, with a 'y', offers a distinctive twist on the more common Ariana, making it feel fresh and slightly exotic.
