The Story of Ariellah
Ariellah is an elaborated form of Ariel, a Hebrew name meaning 'lion of God' — from 'ari' (lion) and 'el' (God). In the Hebrew Bible, Ariel is used as a poetic name for Jerusalem in the Book of Isaiah. Shakespeare used the name for an airy spirit in The Tempest, and it appears in Jewish liturgical poetry. The '-lah' suffix adds an extra syllable of flourish, giving the name a more ornate, lyrical quality compared to Ariella.
