Nepali names starting with Ar: dawn, offerings and wishes

Among these 72 names starting with Ar, the English opening covers both अ and आ: compare Arjun (अर्जुन) with Arati (आरती). Listen for that opening vowel before choosing a spelling. Meanings range from the reddish dawn of Arun to the heartfelt wish in Arzoo.

  1. Two opening vowels

    Arun begins अरु, while Arati begins आर. The English letters Ar do not by themselves show the difference between अ and आ.

  2. Dawn and lotus

    Arun means reddish dawn or the rising sun, and Aruna is its feminine form. Arbind and Arbinda mean lotus.

  3. Offering and longing

    Arpan and Arpana mean offering or dedication. Arzoo and Arju mean wish, desire or longing.

Arun: Reddish dawn; the rising sun, also the charioteer of the Sun god. Arbind: Lotus (Arvind). Archana (अर्चना): Worship, offering; adoration.
