Is it allowed to keep the name of baby boy as “Aryan”, is it Islamic name?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1399/L=454/TL=11/1434)

‘Aryan’ is not a name; hence it is not better to keep such name.
وفى الفتاوي: التسمية باسم لم يذكره الله تعالى فى عباده ولا ذكره رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا استعمله المسلمون تكلموا فيه والأولى أن لا يفعل (عالمگیری 5/362)
You should choose any of the below mentioned names instead of Aryan:
Usman, Affan, Salman, Sufiyan etc.

Allah knows Best!
