Aarohi means ‘ascending’ or ‘rising’ in Hindi, with a Sanskrit origin. Wiktionary records both upward movement and a musical use referring to the ascending sequence of notes in a raga. This musical connection explains the interpretation ‘a rising melody’, although the more precise sense is an ascent through notes. The Hindi word comes from Sanskrit ārohin, ‘ascending’ or ‘mounting’, and is also recorded as a female given name. Its everyday and musical meanings share the same image of movement upward.
