Ariani, should be of Tuscan origin, probably Florentine, but has small stocks also in the Bari area and in the Cosenza area, Ariano has a small stock of Lazio in the Roman and in the frusinate, a stock of Campania in the Caserta area, in the Neapolitan and Avellino areas above all and in the Salerno area, a strain in the Foggia area and one in the Brindisi area, they should derive from the Latin name Arianus, traces of which date back to 311 AD, when a certain Roman officer named Arianus became governor of Thebes and, converted to Christianity, was then killed and then holy. There are also other hypotheses, one hypothesizes that the origin is not Tuscan, but derives from toponyms such as: Ariano Ferrarese in the Ferrara area or Ariano Irpino in the Avellino area, another gives the Arian surname from the Latin Ara Jani (altar of Janus, Roman god) and would indicate in this way living the forefather in a place probably near a temple dedicated to the divinity of peace and war.
