Scholars differ on this name

Ravish is Persian for 'manner, way'. Darul Uloom Deoband says there is nothing wrong in it but it is not a good boy's name, and advises names of prophets or Sahaba; in Hindi it is also a Hindu name meaning 'lord of the sun'.

روش فارسی میں 'طریقہ' کو کہتے ہیں۔ دار العلوم دیوبند کے مطابق اس میں خرابی نہیں مگر یہ لڑکے کا اچھا نام نہیں، انبیاء یا صحابہ کے نام رکھنے چاہئیں؛ ہندی میں یہ ہندو نام بھی ہے۔
