Aarush has a possible Sanskrit connection with the sun and the color red. Wiktionary describes the Hindi name as possibly related to aruṣa, an adjective recorded in the Rigveda for reddish color and also used for the sun or day. Monier-Williams records the related feminine aruṣī for dawn. This supports a possible solar association, but neither the name's derivation nor the specific meaning ‘first ray of the sun’ is established. That phrase is a popular poetic interpretation.

Spelling and pronunciation
आरुष is approximately aa-rush, in two syllables. Arush is an alternative Roman spelling, and आरुश is another Hindi spelling. The proposed Sanskrit source अरुष has a short opening vowel, unlike आरुष. The ष in the latter represents a sh sound made with the tongue curled back.
Also spelled Arush.
