About the name Aarohi

The name carries beautiful connotations of upward movement, progress, and achievement. It became widely popular in India in the 2000s and 2010s and is now one of the most popular names given to Indian girls born in the diaspora.

It is particularly popular with Hindu families of North Indian and Gujarati backgrounds.
