Name meaning in Urdu
A name meaning in Urdu is what a name signifies in Urdu, together with its correct spelling in the Urdu script. Nikfaindar gives you both: type a name to see its meaning with a named dictionary source, its Nastaliq spelling letter by letter, its Hindi and Bengali forms, and copyable decorated versions.

How to read a name card
The spelling
The name is set in Nastaliq, the style Urdu is normally written in, right to left. Each letter is named underneath with its Unicode code point, so you can type or check it yourself.
The meaning plate
The green plate gives the meaning, the language the word comes from (Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit or Hindi, as Platts marks it) and the dictionary page. A meaning without a source is not shown.
Hindi and Bengali
Devanagari and Bengali spellings are common forms transliterated by the desk from the Urdu spelling. Families sometimes spell a name differently; check official documents.
Decorated forms
Decorated versions wrap the Urdu spelling in Unicode symbols for a profile name. They come third, after meaning and spelling, and each shows its character count.

Questions about name meanings in Urdu
How do I find a boy name or girl name meaning in Urdu?
Type the name in the box at the top, or pick it from the A to Z list. The dictionary we use gives the meaning of the word a name comes from; it does not label names as boys' or girls' names, so we do not either.
Are these Islamic name meanings?
Many names on the desk come from Arabic or Persian words, and the card shows which. We give the dictionary meaning and origin only; the desk does not give religious guidance on choosing a name.
How do I write my baby's name in Urdu?
Open the name's card: it shows the Urdu spelling in Nastaliq and names each letter with its Unicode code point. Families sometimes spell a name differently, so check the spelling used on official papers.
Why does another site give a different meaning?
Name meanings travel between languages and sources disagree. Every card on Nikfaindar names its source and page, so you can check the reading yourself.
