Anwarul is Arabic in Origin.

Anwarul is a masculine Arabic-derived name built on Anwar, the elative of the root n-w-r ("light"), meaning "more/most radiant" or "brighter." The -ul element reflects the Arabic/Persian genitive connector al/ul, "of the," widely used in Persianate and South Asian naming to form devotional compounds like Anwar-ul-Haq ("light of truth"). As a standalone given name in Bangladesh and beyond, Anwarul is commonly understood as "most luminous" or "radiant," with the implied second element dropped.

The name traveled with Islamic scholarship and administration from the early Arabic-speaking world into the Ottoman domains and the Indian subcontinent, remaining especially familiar in Bangladesh and Pakistan within compound religious or honorific names. Variants and cognates include Anwar, Anwer, Anouar (Maghrebi/French), Anuar (Central Asian/Latin transcription), and Turkish Enver; related feminine forms include Anwara and Noura/Nur. Short forms may be Anwar or Anu. Core meanings evoke brilliance, guidance, and divine light.
