History & Origin
Aroush is a Persian and Urdu name usually rendered 'angel' or 'first light of heaven'. Long used in Iranian and Pakistani families, it appeared in United States records with South Asian and Middle Eastern naming from the late two-thousands onward.
It stayed uncommon in America, a couple dozen girls a year at most around the early twenty-tens. A girl given it then is barely a teenager now, and it reads as a heritage name still new to the country rather than a common one.
