Areej

Meaning of Areej

Areej, pronounced a-REEJ, is an Arabic gem meaning “fragrance” or “aroma,” evoking the soft allure of a jasmine breeze at dusk. It carries an air of subtle elegance—like a quiet poem whispered through a blooming garden—yet still feels fresh and modern for an Anglo-American family seeking something a bit different. Though only a handful of little Areejs appear on U.S. birth records each year, that rarity becomes part of her magic: she won’t get lost in a crowd of Emilys or Sophies, and she’ll leave a lasting impression wherever she goes. With its gentle melody and evocative roots, Areej is an inspired choice for parents who wish to wrap their daughter in grace and warmth from her very first hello.
