From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Ariana yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Ariana peaked on both measures in 2014 — 5,502 births, rank 37 — which is the year after Ariana Grande's first album. It has since given back 53%, to 2,569 births at rank 103. That timing is close enough to be causal, and the subsequent decline follows the familiar shape: a name attached to one very visible person rises fast and then falls as the association hardens. Recorded from 1957, 118,325 births in total. The bearer list is unusually crowded with genuine Arianas — DeBose, Richards, Greenblatt — alongside Tiffany Trump, born 1993, for whom it is a middle name. Compare Aaliyah, whose curve has an almost identical profile for almost identical reasons.
