Etymology
In the Japanese version, the spell name is intended to apply the prefix "A" to indicate the higher tier of Raise (as opposed to apply suffix "ra" or "ga" for the similar purpose) instead of actually romanizing the English word "Arise". Arise is the only example of the affix "A" that still makes its appearance constantly.

Although the Araise name is rarely preserved in English releases, the spell was revealed for Final Fantasy XI as Araise and named Araise on the Test Server, but after players denounced the name Araise, the English localization team stated that it was simply a "temporary" name while the spell was in development. On its full release, the spell was named Arise.

Few spells in the later installments bring out this affix again; the English localization generally does not carry it over. For example, Purotea (プロテア) is localized Protectra in Final Fantasy XI, Kearua (ケアルア) becomes Curasa in Final Fantasy XIII.
