Arilene is a unique and intriguing female given name, believed to have originated from Hebrew roots. The name is derived from the Hebrew word "Aaron," which means "exalted" or "lofty." However, unlike Aaron, Arilene does not directly relate to any specific biblical figure. Instead, it is considered a variant form of names like Ariella and Ariel, adding a touch of uniqueness while maintaining a familiar ring. The name Arilene was more popular during the mid-20th century but has since become somewhat less common, making those who bear this name truly stand out. Spelling variations include Ariline, Arielene, and even Areline, each offering a slightly different take on this distinctive moniker.
Arilene was quite popular among parents in the late 80s and early 90s, with a peak of 11 births in 1992. However, its popularity declined thereafter, with only 5 births in 2003 and 6 in 2005. Overall, Arilene has seen 27 newborn girls since 1987.
