In Kabbalah, the lion symbolizes spiritual courage and valor, the ability to stand firm against challenges and lead the way. The name grants its bearer a sense of self-confidence and a presence filled with charisma. In modern times, the name Ari has gained significant popularity in Israel and Jewish communities worldwide.
