Arush is a masculine given name from Sanskrit aruṣa, an adjective for “reddish, glowing, bright,” attested in Vedic hymns to describe dawn and the sun’s shining steeds. In contemporary South Asian naming it is popularly interpreted as “first ray of the sun” and, by extension, “radiant” or “brilliant.”

As a personal name it has become a modern favorite in India and the South Asian diaspora, rising since the 1990s alongside compact, vowel-led names. Spellings and variants include Aarush (the most widespread modern form), Arus and Arusha (rare), with the feminine counterpart Arushi. Common nicknames are Aru and Ru/Roo. Chosen for its auspicious solar imagery and fresh sound, Arush sits near related Sanskritic names such as Aruna, Usha, Ravi, and Aditya. Note that it is unrelated to Persian Arash and to the Tanzanian place name Arusha, despite similar spellings.
