Meaning of Suhail
Suhail is an Arabic name for boys that means “lenient”, “without trouble”, “easy to interact with”. It is also the name of a star known as Canopus in English, which is the second brightest star in the night-time sky, after Sirius. Suhail can also means “little plain”, a small area of flat land that doesn’t have many trees. Suhail is the diminutive form of Sahl.
Suhail is the name of many Sahaba (companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him and his companions), the best known of which is Suhail bin Amr bin Abd Shams al-Qarashi al-Amiri, the spokesman of Quraish.
