Ariadne

The name Ariadne (the Latvian variant — Ariadne) has ancient Greek origins. It consists of two parts:

• "Ari" — which means "very" or "extremely". • "Adnos" (the second part of the name) may be related to the ancient Greek word ἁγνός (hagnos), which means "pure" or "holy".

The name Ariadne translates to "extremely pure" or "very holy". It is associated with purity, innocence, and inner nobility.

The name Ariadne is associated with the mythology of Ancient Greece. Ariadne was the daughter of the Cretan king Minos and helped Theseus escape from the labyrinth by giving him a ball of thread. In the myth, she symbolizes wisdom, insight, and salvation. After Theseus left Ariadne, she was found and loved by the god Dionysus, who made her his wife. Thus, the name is connected not only with assistance but also with rebirth and new beginnings.

The name Ariadne is not very common in Latvia, but it attracts attention with its mythological story and rarity. It symbolizes feminine wisdom, helping others, and insight.
