Meaning: A masculine form of Aarya, meaning "noble" or "warrior."

Aaryan, a variant of Aryan, is a popular and regal Indian boy’s name derived from the Sanskrit term "ārya," meaning "noble," "high-born," or "superior." This name has been used extensively in India and among Iranian communities. It is also used as a surname and has gained popularity globally due to its positive connotations and rhythmic sound. Despite its widespread use, Aaryan remains relatively unknown in the US, where it has never made it to the top 1000 baby names.
