Full Meaning of Ariychah

Ariychah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “built structure”, especially a howdah for women (the carriage that’s mounted on camels and elephants and women ride inside it). It is derived from the Ain-R-Sh (structure, throne) root which is used in many places in the Quran.

I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything and she has a mighty throne. (Quran 27:23)
