Meaning

Aariz, explained.

Aariz (عَارِض) is an Arabic name for boys, taken from a word in the Quran. It means a cloud that spreads across the sky. In Arabic it is pronounced Aarid, with a heavy d; Aariz is how it is said in South Asia. Note that in 46:24 the cloud brought punishment, so some parents prefer another name.

Meaning and root

In Arabic, words are built from a root of usually three letters. Aariz comes from the root ع ر ض, and words from the same root share its core meaning. Similar names from the same family of words are listed below.
