Alternate Spellings

The name Ausaf is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Virtues', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Ausaf has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Ausaf is the Arabic plural of "wasf" (attribute/quality), from the root w-s-f, the same root behind Sifat.

Reference Profile

Etymology

The plural of wasf, Arabic for 'quality, description.' Ausaf means 'virtues, qualities.'

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
