DISNEY PRINCESSES MINUS LAST LETTER
Back to CategoriesDisney princess names with the last letter removed
ARIE
From 'Ariel' (The Little Mermaid) — minus the 'L'.
BELL
From 'Belle' (Beauty and the Beast) — minus the 'E'.
MOAN
From 'Moana' (Moana) — minus the 'A'.
RAY
From 'Ray' is not a princess; likely a trick. Actually, 'Tiana' minus last letter would be 'Tian', but here 'RAY' might refer to 'Ray' from 'Princess and the Frog'? No, 'Ray' is a firefly. This grouping is a wordplay puzzle: 'RAY' could be from 'Aurora' minus last letters? Actually, 'RAY' is from 'Raya' (Raya and the Last Dragon) — minus the 'A'. But Raya is a Disney princess-like character. Alternatively, 'RAY' may be from 'Merida' minus 'DA'? This is tricky. Let's interpret as: 'ARIE' from Ariel, 'BELL' from Belle, 'MOAN' from Moana, 'RAY' from Raya (or perhaps 'Aurora' minus 'AUROR'? No). Given the context, 'RAY' likely stands for 'Raya' — a Disney princess from 'Raya and the Last Dragon' — minus the last letter 'A'.
