Lion of God or high-born
Araiyah is a modern spelling variant likely derived from the Hebrew name Aria or Ariel, meaning 'lion of God,' or the Sanskrit name Arya, meaning 'noble.' It has gained popularity as a melodic, multi-cultural choice that blends traditional roots with a contemporary, phonetic spelling. The name is often chosen for its airy, lyrical sound and strong spiritual undertones.
