Ahil meaning
Ahil (آہل) is a Muslim boy's name.
Meaning today
Prince, ruler, emperor
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Ahil, also spelled Aahil, is a modern name whose origin we could not confirm in the classical dictionaries. Baby-name lists usually give it as "prince", "ruler" or "emperor", but no Arabic or Persian word with that meaning matches the name. The closest Arabic word is āhil (آهل), which Lane records for a place that is peopled or inhabited, and for a man who has a wife and family; it comes from ahl, "family, people". It is not clear that the name was formed from this word, so Ahil is best read as a modern name whose meaning rests on popular use rather than on a dictionary. It is given to boys, mostly in Muslim families.
