Topic: Naming a Child Arish

(No-66042)

Q Assalamu Alaikum. I hope all is well. I would like to name my son Aarish or Muhammad Aarish, a name I like very much. Please tell me the meaning of this name and whether it is permissible to keep it.

a"Aarish" (عارش) means: one who builds enclosures for animals, one who builds a thatched shelter or canopy, or one who is bewildered. (Al-Qamoos Al-Waheed, p. 1065) Given these meanings, the name Aarish is not suitable. It is better to name children after the Prophets (alayhimus salam), the Sahabah Kiram (ridhwanullahi alayhim ajmaeen), the Tabieen, and the Awliyaa Allah. Allah the Almighty knows best.
