Ghaith (Arabic: غيث Ghayth) is an Arabic male name meaning "rain" that is derived from the linguistic root غ-ي-ث. It also carries connotations of deliverance, aid, and relief, hence it also having broader meanings of "rainfall" and "life giving rainfall".[1] [2] For this reason, it holds significance in many Arab countries, where the climate can become very hot and arid. Ghaith (or Ghayth) also exists as a surname. It is also transliterated into English as "Ghayth".
