Yes, Ari is a Japanese girls' name. For questions like this I like to look at a site (it's entirely in Japanese) which lists over 118,000 Japanese girls' names with every known Kanji spelling. There are 37 different kanji spellings of Ari given; however, none of them is the Kanji meaning "ant"!

- Thank you, Rene! But is it also a name in Japan? (guest)

Yes, seems to be correct:

(search for "Japanese Kun" on this page which is the Japanese reading of this kanji)

Rarely, but usually used a surname.
