About Arriga
Arriga, a feminine variant of Arrigo, originates from the Old High German name Haimirich. This name is composed of two elements: haimaz, meaning "home" or "house," and rīkijaz, which signifies "kingly," "royal," or "mighty."
Therefore, the name Arriga carries the meaning of "ruler of the home" or "sovereign of the homeland." Historically, the English short form of Arriga, Harry, was widely used in medieval England as the "spoken form" of Henry. The popularity of the name Henry was such that it became synonymous with the common man, leading to the phrase "Tom, Dick, and Harry."
