Mu'nis (مؤنس) is an Arabic masculine name derived from the triliteral root و ن س (w-n-s) that conveys notions of sociability, intimacy, and providing comfort. The name literally designates someone who brings 'al-ans' (a sense of ease and companionship). It is attested in classical and medieval Arabic sources and later onomastic records as a male personal name. Related names in meaning and root are [[Munir]] and [[Munawwar]], which share the consonantal neighborhood and frequent use in Arabic-speaking contexts. Mu'nis is rare in contemporary use but recognized for its classical linguistic clarity and warm semantic field.
