For clarification -- Ariana is pronounced Are-ee-ah-na.  (No "airy"  and no "anna.")
The name Ariana is from the Greek name Ariadne ("most holy", "Holy one"; Cretan Greek αρι [ari] "most" and αδνος [adnos] "holy"). 
That is the translation/orgin I find on most baby name sites.  Some other origins found less commonly were:
Welsh:  meaning silver
Latin: (aria) meaning melody or song
Persian: meaning Persian, nobility
