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.

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.
