ghayas

Ghayas is a given name of Arabic origin, primarily used for males. The name translates to "protector," "helper," or "one who assists." It is derived from the Arabic root word ghawth (غوث), which signifies aid, succor, or relief. The name conveys a sense of strength, support, and a benevolent nature.

In various Islamic cultures and traditions, the concept of ghawth can also refer to spiritual succor or a savior figure. While the given name is a direct interpretation of the Arabic word for helper, its resonance can carry deeper spiritual connotations for some bearers and their communities. The name is relatively common in Muslim-majority countries and among Muslim communities worldwide. Its pronunciation typically emphasizes the "gh" sound, which is a guttural sound not present in many Western languages. The name is straightforward in its meaning and is generally well-understood within Arabic-speaking contexts.
