Soheil

Soheil is a masculine given name of Persian origin, widely used in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and among Persian-speaking communities around the world. It is commonly transliterated as Soheil, Sohail, Suhail, or Sohayl, reflecting the name’s Arabic roots and the variability of transliteration from Persian and Arabic scripts.

Etymology and meaning: Soheil is linked to the Arabic name Suhail/Sohail, which refers to a bright star in the southern sky and is commonly associated with Canopus. In Persian usage, the name carries connotations of brightness, guidance, and auspiciousness. As with many names, the exact nuance can vary by family interpretation and tradition.

Usage: In modern contexts, Soheil is a common male given name across Iran and neighboring regions, as well as in South Asian and diaspora communities influenced by Persian and Arabic naming traditions. It is typically used as a given name rather than a surname.

Variants and related names: Related forms include Sohail, Suhail, Suhayl, and Sohayl, with further variations arising from regional pronunciation and script.
