Beloved Brother/Sister, there is no such thing as a 'muslim' name; for one is recognized as a believer in the sight of Allah SWT because of his belief and deeds, not because of his name. The meaning of this name is "ruler" and it's origin is Indian.
And If one wishes to name their child 'Arhaan', it would be a perfectly acceptable name in Islam. If the question was 'is it a good name?', then we would advice that there are plenty of better names one may keep for their children.
Surely the first followers of Islam had names that were non islamic, so most people today would have the same names, if there is a specic list that should be used, would this not be in the Qur'an or another religeous writting, in which case should this not be the place to look, if this is not the case then who decided what names are Good in Islam, who defined the names? I ask these out of curiosity to learn.
I meant no disrespect, just feel any name you like should be used, no matter what it's origins.
To choose a child name on the basis of whether it is a particular religions is a bit narrow minded, go for global peace and love and call them what you like.
