Meaning and origin of Arsal
Arsal is a fairly recent name from South Asia, and families usually take it to mean 'sent' or 'messenger'. That reading ties it to the Arabic verb arsala, 'he sent', which grows from the root r-s-l, the same source as rasūl, the word for a messenger. It is best seen as a popular modern explanation rather than a name with a long classical pedigree. Separately, a Lebanese town carries the name Arsal, though it is written with different Arabic letters.
