What does Aariz mean?
In its Quranic sense (Quran 46:24) 'arid (عارض) denotes a cloud appearing on the horizon that is expected to bring rain, so Aariz is often glossed 'rain-bearing cloud'. Popular South Asian usage also gives 'respectable' or 'intelligent', which are not well documented in classical Arabic, so the meaning is hedged. Spellings include Aariz, Aaraiz, Ariz.
What does Saif mean?
From sayf (س-ي-ف), meaning 'sword'. Often appears in the compound Sayf Allah ('Sword of God'), a title given to Khalid ibn al-Walid. Also spelled Sayf or Seif.
