Areeb meaning
Areeb (اریب) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Intelligent, sound in judgment; skilful, also cunning
Also used to mean: wise
Areeb (اریب) is the Arabic arīb, from the root ʾ-r-b, which carries the ideas of need and of skill in meeting it. Lane's lexicon defines arīb as one who combines intelligence with craft and foresight, and also, more simply, as intelligent, sound in judgment and knowledgeable in affairs. Name lists give Areeb as "wise" or "intelligent", which follows the gentler of the dictionary senses. The feminine form is Areeba.
