Around the world, أريل (Arielle 
, Aerle 
, أريل) is a common predominantly girly, but very infrequently boy's forename. The first name أريل is characteristic of Cameroon, where it is quite a common principally girly, but very seldom boy's name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Trinidad and Tobago, where it is quite a rare girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in the United States, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Cameroon. Much less frequently, أريل is the last name as well as the forename.
