Arshi is Arabic, Persian in Origin.
Arshi is a unisex given name with Persian-Urdu roots, formed from Arabic 'arsh ("throne," specifically the Throne of God in Islamic cosmology) plus the adjectival -i. As an epithet it means "heavenly," "of the Throne," or "celestial/exalted," and it appears in classical Persian and Urdu verse to describe sublime or divine realms. The name is used across South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) and in diaspora communities, and also occurs in Albanian usage, likely via Ottoman-era Persianate influence.
As a personal name, Arshi has been borne by modern writers and entertainers; the Urdu poet Arshi Lucknowi used it as his takhallus (pen name). Contemporary spellings and variants include Arshi, Arshī, Arshee, Aarshi, and the related forms Arsh and Arshia/Arshiya (often feminine). Many parents choose it for its concise sound and its elevated, skyward imagery. Not to be confused with Aarushi, a separate Sanskrit-derived name.
