What is the meaning of my name?

The meaning of Ari in other different languages…

Hebrew


Ari (Numbers 24:9) or Aryeh (2 Samuel 17:10) is the Hebrew for "lion", cognate to Akkadian aria, Aramaic arya. The word is in use as a male first name. Ari was also used as an honorific for an important man.

It is short for ARIEL --- the Hebrew name which means "lion of God".

Finnish

Greek
Ari or Aris is a common shortened version of the Greek names Aristotle, Ariadne, Arietta, Aristides, Aristarchus, Aristomenes, Aristobulos, Aristoxenos, Aristos, Aristophanes, Aristea, and others, the majority of which are compounds of the adjectival superlative áristos, "best". They are also modern Greek transliterations for Ares, the god of war and the name for the planet Mars. The archaic Greek prefix ari- (e.g. in Ariadne, Arimnestus etc) or eri-, a cognate of áristos, means "very" or "verily".

Famous historical figures sometimes referred to as "Ari" include the philosopher Aristotle, Aristides the Just, and shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.
