About the name of the coin ariary: even in the pre-colonial era (the local kingdom existed until 1896, when it was finally conquered by France), the term "ariary" was used to denote the Arabic coins of the rials — "al rial" (according to another version it is about local name for the Spanish dollar /equal to 8 reals/).
