Ariel is a gender-neutral baby name of Hebrew origin. In the Hebrew Bible, Ariel is hailed and used to describe the city of Jerusalem, meaning “lion of God.” Though this meaning associates Ariel with a divine being and spiritual location, this whimsical name can also conjure images of a strawberry-haired mermaid.

It's a debate that has fueled speculation that in Hollywood, Indians and Arabs are interchangeable.
How old is Ariel
According to production notes, Ariel is described as a "spirited 18-year-old" (via Yahoo!). This change of age is likely to avoid criticism surrounding Ariel's hasty marriage to Prince Eric in the animated version and make 23-year-old Halle Bailey more believable in the role.Norwegian
It was unexpected, Elsa and Anna are both portrayed in the animated film as two Norwegian princesses from the 1840s — it's highly unlikely that their father, the King, was not white.
