Origins
La primera mención escrita de esta localidad data de 1350 y figura como Aryue. Posteriormente aparece como Ariue, forma que se encuentra documentada hasta el siglo XVI. El topónimo se acabó transcribiendo como Arive.
El topónimo Arive proviene etimológicamente de la expresión en euskera Ari(a) be(h)e (debajo de Aria) y hace referencia al vecino pueblo de Aria, que está situado a mayor altitud y es probablemente más antiguo.
En euskera el municipio se llama Aribe, que es una adaptación de Arive a las modernas reglas ortográficas del euskera. Aribe es el nombre oficial del municipio desde hace unos años.
