Meaning and background
The story behind Arie
Arie has separate Dutch and Hebrew histories. In Dutch it is a familiar form of Adriaan; in Hebrew it can represent the name also transcribed Arye. The identical Latin spelling therefore does not guarantee the same derivation or spoken form. The reference gives a first-syllable emphasis for the Dutch reading and a final emphasis for the Hebrew one. For a household choosing Arie, settling the intended reading is more useful than assigning it one universal translation.
- Origin
- Dutch diminutive of Adriaan; separately, an alternate transcription of Hebrew Arye. Source · Source 2
