Areej meaning
Areej (اریج) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.
A sweet, spreading fragrance
Also used to mean: pleasant scent
Areej (اریج) is Arabic arīj, a form of araj, from the root ʾ-r-j. Lane's lexicon defines araj as a sweet smell that spreads through the air, and arij as a perfume giving off a strong scent, or a room filled with fragrance. Name lists give Areej as "fragrance" or "pleasant scent", which matches the dictionary closely. It is a short name that is easy to write in Urdu and English and is used by Muslim families in India and the Gulf.
