Meaning & Origin
A supporter of the Cyrenaic monk Arius and his faction in the 4th-century Church.
Arian is a boy's and girl's baby name of Welsh origin, from the Welsh word meaning "silver," a nature name of quiet, metallic beauty. It is also used in Iranian and Persian traditions as a form of Aryan, meaning "noble."
Arian has a clean, two-syllable simplicity that works across multiple cultural contexts. In Wales, it carries the elemental quality of silver — precious, reflective, enduring. In the United States, it has been used across various communities as a name that sounds contemporary while carrying ancient roots.
