About the name Aarohi

Aarohi is a modern Sanskrit girl's name derived from the word for an ascending musical note in classical Indian music — the aaroha (ascending scale) as opposed to the avaroha (descending). 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. Aarohi works beautifully in English-speaking environments — it is easy to pronounce, has a pleasant sound, and the meaning of 'one who rises' is universally aspirational. It is particularly popular with Hindu families of North Indian and Gujarati backgrounds.
