Meaning & origin
Rohail first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1991, a relatively recent addition to the American naming landscape. Its peak usage came in 2007, the year it was most frequently given to newborn boys, though it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. The name's trajectory has been stable, indicating consistent but low-level use. Rohail remains a rare choice, associated primarily with Arabic-speaking and South Asian Muslim communities.
Rohail (also spelled Ruhail) is an Arabic masculine name derived from the root r-w-h, which carries meanings of spirit, breath, and divine inspiration. It is closely related to names like Ruh, Ruhi, and Ruhullah, and is commonly used in Muslim communities, particularly in South Asia. The name reflects a spiritual connotation, often chosen for its association with righteousness and guidance.
