About Ariano
Ancient Greek in origin, the name Ariano is a masculine form of Arianna, derived from the Greek name "Ariádnē (Ἀριάδνη)." This name is composed of two elements: "ari- (ἀρι)" (a strengthening prefix, generally with a sense of goodness, excellence) plus "hagnós (ἁγνός) adnós (ἀδνός)" (pure, chaste, holy, sacred, purifying).
The name Ariano means "very sacred, very pure, pure one." In Greek mythology, Ariádnē was King Minos of Crete's daughter, and Queen Pasifaë, daughter of Helios, the titan of the sun. She is mostly associated with mazes and labyrinths due to her involvement in Minotaur and Theseus's myths.
