Boy name · 26 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aahil: 26 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 8 births in 2015.

Aahil is a name of Arabic origin, meaning "great king" or "prince," derived from the root word for "king" or "ruler." While not widely common in Scotland, it carries a regal and commanding air. There are no well-known historical Scottish bearers, but globally, it is sometimes seen in Islamic contexts, where names with royal connotations are valued for their aspirational quality. There is no direct place connection to Scotland's geography, though the name shares its root with "Ahil," a related form found in other cultures. Aahil has seen a quiet rise in multicultural urban areas, reflecting Scotland's growing diversity. A notable variant is "Ahaan," which also holds a regal meaning, making Aahil a concise choice for parents seeking a strong, internationally recognizable name with a dignified heritage.
