Arah

Arah is a term used in different languages and regions, referring to a directional concept, a personal given name, and toponyms. In Indonesian and Malay, arah means direction, bearing, or path. It is a common lexical item in navigation, transportation, and signage, and is used in expressions such as arah utara for the north direction.

As a given name, Arah appears in some cultures. It can be used for people of different genders and may derive from multiple linguistic roots, so the exact meaning varies by community.

Arah is also used as a place name in various locales, appearing for towns, villages, or geographic features. The origins of these toponyms reflect local language and history, rather than a single origin.

In other contexts, Arah may occur in literature, media, or organizational names, depending on usage.
