Suheyl

Suheyl is a masculine given name of Arabic origin. It is used across Arabic-speaking communities and in the wider Muslim world. The spelling Suheyl is one transliteration among several that render the original Arabic name into Latin characters.

The name is linked to Arabic linguistic traditions and has variants including Suhail, Suheil, Suheyl, Suhel, and Suhiel. In some contexts, the name is associated with Suhail, a bright star in the night sky, and by extension with notions of brightness or guidance. As with many Arabic names, the precise meaning can vary with local usage and family interpretation.

In contemporary usage, Suheyl is found in many Arab countries and among diasporic communities in Europe, North America, and Africa. It is typically given to boys and may appear in personal records, literature, and media under different transliterations, reflecting the range of ways Arabic sounds are rendered in English and other languages.

Notable bearers of the name exist across fields such as academia and public life. Because transliteration varies, the name may appear in English-language sources under variant spellings like Suhail or Suheil, even when referring to the same individual.
