2. Detailed Meaning of Owais

Owais is an ancient Arabic name that means “little wolf”, it comes from Aws, which means “wolf”. Aws was the name of one of the main Arab tribes of the city of Madinah, the other being Khazraj.

Owais is not a Quranic name, but since it doesn’t have a bad meaning, and since three of the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, had this name, it is an acceptable name for a Muslim baby. The full names of the three companions are: Owais al-Qarni, Owais bin as-Samit and Owais bin Aamir.

Owais is pronounced [(OO)ps or (U)zbekistan] + [(WAY) + (S)weet], with emphasis on the second syllable. It is written as أُوَيْس in Arabic and can also be written as Uwais, Ouways, Ouwais, Oweis, Uweiss, Uweyss, Uwess in English.
