Ariel

Arielle

See results without answeringSo trying to decide whether to spell the name either Ariel or Arielle for a girl. Ariel can be for a boy or a girl but now-a-days more commonly used for a girl. Arielle is solely a girls’ name and is a French spelling. Ariel is the original spelling from the Bible.Original poster's comments (6)0Comment Advertisement | page continues below

  I still see Ariel as the masculine spelling and Arielle as the feminine spelling.
