Meaning of Arsh

Arsh could also refer to the Arabic word عَرْش, pronounced [(U)p + p(R)ay + (SH)op]. This word means “throne”, “power”; it is a direct Quranic name used 26 times in the Quran. Other names related to this are Arish and Areesh.

Sulaiman then said, ‘O Counsellors, which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in submission? (Quran 27:38)

Arsh, pronounced Aa-rsh [(A)fter] + [p(R)ay + s(I)t + (SH)op] with emphasis on the first syllable, can be a variant of the Persian name Arash. You can read more about it here: What is the meaning of the name Arash? Is it an Islamic name?
