Ariyon is of Hebrew origin, derived from the name 'Arye', meaning 'lion'. It is a unisex name, equally suitable for both boys and girls. The variant spelling 'Aryan' has been used historically but is considered controversial today due to its association with supremacist ideology. Therefore, Ariyon serves as an appealing alternative that maintains the original Hebrew significance without the negative connotations.
"From 1998 to 2018, the name Ariyon saw a steady decrease in popularity, with its peak year being 1998 at 34 births, and the lowest point in 2005 and 2013 both at 5 births. However, there was a slight resurgence from 2006 to 2011, before stabilizing around 5-7 births annually until 2018."
