Arin (अरिन) is a short modern name that name lists usually give as "full of wisdom" or "mountain of strength", with others offering "the sun" or "brilliant". In Sanskrit, arin is formed from ara, "the spoke of a wheel", and Monier-Williams gives it as "having spokes", and as a noun a wheel or a discus, citing the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. We could not find any of the popular meanings in Monier-Williams or Apte, so they appear to be modern meanings attached to the name rather than its Sanskrit sense. The name is also used in other languages with unrelated meanings.
