Lion of God
Arial is a variant of the Hebrew name Ariel. It combines the elements 'ari', meaning lion, and 'el', referring to God, symbolizing strength and divine protection. While often associated with the sans-serif typeface designed in 1982, it retains its roots as a spiritual and powerful name.
