What does the name Aries mean?
The meaning and origin of Aries
English

noun 1. (astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Aries

English

noun 2. a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere; between Pisces and Taurus

English

noun 3. the first sign of the zodiac which the sun enters at the vernal equinox; the sun is in this sign from about March 21 to April 19

English
name
//ˈɛə.ɹiːz//

A constellation of the zodiac supposedly shaped like a ram.; The zodiac sign for the ram, ruled by Mars and covering March 20 – April 20 (tropical astrology) or April 15 – May 15 (sidereal astrology).

Etymology: From Latin Aries, from aries (“ram”), calque of Ancient Greek Κριός (Kriós), calque of Akkadian 𒅈𒌺𒊑𒈨 (immeru, “sheep”).

Spanish
name
//ˈaɾjes//

Aries (constellation); Aries (zodiac sign)

Etymology: Borrowed from Latin ariēs (literally “ram”).

Latin
noun
/[ˈa.ri.eːs]/

ram, male sheep; battering ram

Etymology: From Proto-Italic *arjēts ~ *erjēts (compare Umbrian 𐌄𐌓𐌉𐌄𐌕𐌖 (erietu)), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₁r-i-(e)t- (“young domesticated caprine”). Cognate with Old Irish heirp, erb (“kid”), Ancient Greek ἔριφος (ériphos, “kid”), displaying a different suffix, and perhaps Old Armenian որոջ (oroǰ, “lamb”), երինջ (erinǰ, “heifer”). However, as the cognates demonstrate, this has the characteristics of a substrate word.
