Arisela is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, which was originally derived from the Latin word 'aemulus', meaning 'rival'. The name Arisela is composed of two elements: 'Ari' and 'sela'. The first element, Ari, is believed to be a shortened form of the Roman family name Arrius, while the second element, sela, is thought to mean 'peace' or 'tranquility' in Latin. Therefore, the meaning of Arisela can be interpreted as 'peaceful rival' or 'tranquil rivalry'. The name has been used historically among Roman families and has since spread beyond its original context, becoming more widely recognized and used across different cultures.
