Raʼs as-Sanah (Arabic: رأس السنة‎‎, /raʔs asˈsana/, /ra(ː)s es-/; English: New Year) literally means "Head of the year" in Arabic and refers to the beginning of a new year. This may apply to any of the following:

  • New Year for the Gregorian year
  • Islamic New Year
  • Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year in the Hebrew calendar

    • The term has common origin with the Hebrew "Rosh Hashanah" (also meaning "Head of the year"), reflecting the common linguistic heritage of the Jews and Arabs.
