Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The Hebrew biblical name Ariel is traditionally interpreted as 'lion of God'.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pochádza z hebrejského mena אֲרִיאֵל (Aríel), ktoré sa tradične vykladá ako zloženina slov arí („lev“) a Él („Boh“), teda „Boží lev“ alebo „lev Boží“. V Starom zákone je Ariel aj mužské osobné meno a symbolické pomenovanie Jeruzalema. V Izaiášovej knihe a pri označení časti oltára sa pripúšťa odlišný význam „oltárne ohnisko“; tento výklad sa nevzťahuje priamo na etymológiu osobného mena.
