It should be emphasized that Withycombe is not perfect.  March 2005 LoAR:

      Withycombe, A Dictionary of English Christian Names, cites
      Ariane as the French form of this name. However, undated
      non-English forms in this work are invariably modern.

January 2005 LoAR:

      Unless Withycombe provides a date or period for a particular
      form, the form is generally modern.

September 2004 LoAR:

      The given name is documented from Withycombe, which is not a
      reliable source for non-English names.

While it's good to have such a source, the demand is low enough that
it's not as critical as northwestern European sources (Norse, English,
Gaelics).
