Arull is Tamil in Origin.

Arull is a modern Tamil given name drawn from அருள் (aruḷ), a core term in Tamil meaning grace, divine favor, or compassionate benevolence. In precise transliteration the final consonant is the retroflex ḷ, often written as Arul or Arūl; the doubled -ll in Arull is a stylistic English spelling that hints at this sound. The concept of aruḷ permeates classical Tamil literature and Bhakti devotional poetry, making the name resonate with spiritual connotations of God’s mercy and blessing.

Used for centuries among Tamil-speaking communities in South India and Sri Lanka - and later across the diaspora in Malaysia, Singapore, and beyond - Arull appears both as a standalone given name and within compounds such as Arulraj, Arulmani, and Arulnithi. While commonly masculine, it is increasingly adopted as unisex. Variants and related forms include Arul (most widespread), Arūl (scholarly), and Aarul (anglicized). Short forms and nicknames include Aru.
