Arez is Persian in Origin.
Arez is a Kurdish and Persian-derived given name rooted in Persian ārezū (آرزو), “wish, desire, longing,” a poetic word that also carries the senses of hope and cherished aspiration. In Kurdish (Kurmanji) it appears as Arêz or as a shortened form of Arêzû, keeping the same gentle, aspirational meaning.
The name gained modern currency in the 20th century as Persianate vocabulary was embraced for given names, and it is used across Kurdish, Iranian, and diaspora communities. Arez functions as a unisex name, though it leans feminine in regions influenced by the closely related Turkish form Arzu and the South Asian Urdu/Hindi Arzoo. Common variants and spellings include Arêz, Arezu, Arezou, and Arezoo (Persian), along with Arzu (Turkish, Azerbaijani) and Arzoo (Urdu/Hindi). Not to be confused with Ares, the Greek god of war, Arez emphasizes hope rather than battle.
