An uncommon Hebrew pick — distinctive and rare.
A male given name from Hebrew.
Arik is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a diminutive of Aryeh or Ariel meaning 'lion of God' or 'my king is benevolent.' A common Israeli name, Arik was used as the nickname for Ariel Sharon, the former Israeli Prime Minister, giving it a strong, decisive connotation.
Arik was #1911 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #3266, but its charm endures.
