It is a name that either can come from Italy/Greece/Persia because around the 1400's at that time Persia Italy Greece and Asia were constantly trading goods. Of course woman were also being sold and married off to wealthy families, so Ariana is a Muslim name, but so it is also a Italian name, Arianna, and can be spelled two different ways. In Greece it is known as either the perisan spelling "ariana" or "adriana". Different cultures means different spelling but it all boils down to a woman who was named "Ariana" she was from a wealthy Persian family who was ending up bankrupted, so he sold her to a wealthy greek merchant. But she was unruly and had many strange customs, she would wail for hours on end. He was so fed up with her that he sold her as a slave to a Lord in Italy. He showed great empthy and married her to his sailor son and together Ariana and Gianni Martino travled and had many children.
