"Uriel" means in Hebrew - God's light, or God's fire.
Originally, "Ariel" is not a feminine name, and it means "God's lion".
Nothing to do with Uriel, as far as I know.
Hope this helps a little.

Before you buy.
May I ask your source for this? Who was (in any tradition) Ariel? I can't seem
to find anything about the name (except silly stuff in Baby-name books). Does
he have a story, anything historically significant?
Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply.

"Ariel, meaning "lion of God," is referred to as an angel in the
pseudepigraphical Ezra, as well in "The Key of Solomon the King. He is
represented as lion-headed in various tracts on magic, and in Thomas
Heywood's "The Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels (1635), he is among the seven
princes who rule the waters and is called "Earth's great Lord.". According
to Cornelius Agrippa, Ariel is also the name of a city, called Ariopolis. In
addition, for Jewish mystics, Ariel was a poetic name for Jerusalem."
The bible mentions Ariel as the name of a man, as another name for
Jerusalem, and the name of an altar, whereas other sources refer to Ariel as
an angel who assists Raphael in the cure of disease. The "Testament of
Solomon" says he controls demons. In some occult writings, Ariel is the
third archon (ruler) of the winds. He is also a ruler of the winds in
Gnostic lore, which says Ariel is an older name for Ialdabaoth (the Gnostic
creator). According to the Coptic Pistis Sophia, Ariel is in charge of
punishment in the lower world, whereas practical Cabala says he was
originally of the order of virtues.
Ariel has also often been mentioned in popular works. Shakespeare speaks
of Ariel in "The Tempest," casting him as a sprite (a fairy), and Milton
refers to him as rebel angel, overcome by the seraph Abdiel in the first day
of fighting in heaven. The life of the poet Shelley, who referred to himself
as Ariel, is the subject of Andre' Maurios's "Ariel".
Finally, according to Archibald Sayce ("Athenaeum," October 1886) a
connection can be made between Ariel and the arelim, or erelim, mentioned in
Isaiah (33:7) as an order of angels equated with the order of the thrones"
Author's Sources: "Dictionary of Angels" by Davidson; "The Hierarchy of
the Blessed Angels" by Heywood; "The Key of Solomon the King" translated by
MacGregor, 1889.
There you go, Kelly, take your pick, and plunge deeper! :-)

Ohmygosh. More than I ever could have hoped for. You are too kind. Everything
here is relevant. Just what I needed. Thank you so very much,
Pam.
:-)
Fondly,
Kelly
Maybe she's an angel?
Wojo
We need more like this.
But thanks for the sweet compliment :)
Peace,

This is correct angels have no gender, but always *appear* masculine, which
is closest to thier true form, angels of deception will appear however they
please to lead people away from the true God Adonai.
