| Name origin | The Ariel name first appeared on a high-wheel bicycle patented in 1870 by James Starley and William Hillman. Wikipedia says the bicycle was named after Ariel, the spirit of the air, because its wheel hubs were suspended on wire spokes. | Wikipedia does not state why the company chose the name Arrival. It is an ordinary English word, and the sources used here give no official explanation for the choice. |
