Aariz is an Arabic name used mostly in South Asian Muslim families; its derivation is debated, and it is most often explained as "respectable" or "intelligent". The doubled A at the start follows a transliteration style that is popular in Pakistan and India. In the United States Aariz has moved between number 1589, its best rank in 2022, and the low 2000s over the last decade, and stands at number 1837 in 2025.
