Aghili is Persian in Origin.

Aghili traces to the Arabic root ʿ‑Q‑L, associated with intellect and prudence, and is closely related to the male given name Aqil/Akeel (“wise, sensible”). In Persian naming, the -i ending functions as a nisba, signaling affiliation or descent, so Aghili can be read as “of Aqil” or “from the wise one’s line.” Best known as a Persian and Persianate surname, it sometimes appears as a given name in Iran and among the diaspora.

Forms of the name surface in Arabic and Persian records as a nisba (al-Aqeeli/al-Aqili), and families in Iran, the Gulf, and South Asia bear cognate spellings. As a first name, Aghili remains uncommon and is perceived as masculine. Common variants and transliterations include Aqili, Aqeeli, Agili, and Aghili; related given names are Aqil, Akeel, and Akil. The core meaning centers on wisdom, sound judgment, and mature understanding.
