Meaning and origin of Aroop
Aroop, also written Arup, comes from Sanskrit arupa. Taken literally the prefix a- negates rupa, 'form', giving 'formless', a term used for the divine that transcends shape; some name books instead read it as 'of unrivalled beauty', so the meaning is explained in more than one way. The name is especially popular in Bengal and Assam, where it is pronounced 'O-rup'.
