Arzoo meaning

Arzoo (آرزو) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu and Hindi usage).

Desire, wish, hope, longing

Arzoo (آرزو), also written Aarzoo or Arzu, is the Persian word ārzū, "a wish". Steingass' Persian dictionary defines it as desire, wish and will, with the senses of hope and longing, and lists related words such as ārzūmand, "full of longing". The word passed into everyday Urdu and Hindi and is a favourite of ghazal poets, where it often means longing for the beloved or for God. Name lists give Arzoo as "wish", "desire" or "hope", matching the dictionary.
