Pashto baby names

[Admin Khan]

Many years ago I watched a hindi movie called 'janoon'. there was a pashtun character called sarfaraz khan. very brave and very anti-british.
in iran, sarfaraz is a 'surname' or last name [not to be confused with family name]
in pakistan it is a first name.
have you heard of this name in afghanistan?

Sarfaraz seems to be popular amongst Hazaras.

[Gulalai]

feroz, zargey, azmarey, shirzad, arman, ghorzang, lemar, toryalai, mashal, rokhan, sabawoon, omed...

[laevanay]

Aishma اېشمه is a nice name which means "cold breeze"....Unqa is another which is widly used by Khushal Khan Khattak in his poems....

What does Unqa mean? Can you spell it please in our script....

[laevanay]

I got one of those name and indeed the meaning is very beautiful.

My 2nd cousins who are three sisters, their names are ghersaney, gheraney and saraney.

For girls i like the names Zala, Farishta
for boys, abbaseen, and Arman

What does Zala mean? That is nice name.... is it Zulla like sparkle?

[ScimitarXEdge]

What does Zala mean? That is nice name.... is it Zulla like sparkle?

yes it means sparkle or shininess

zalabala (sparks)

[Shehbaz Khan]

Kashmala, Palwasha, Maimoona, Wagma

[Haris]

If my name wasn't Haris I would definetly call my future son (inshaAllah) Haris. It means Guardian.


But since I can't, I will make do with the following:

Yousuf - Allah increases in piety, power and influence. Name of one of the prophets (AS).
Akbar - Great.
Noah (Nuh) - Peaceful, Quiet. Wanderer. Name of one of the prophets (AS).
Iskander - Man's defender (variant of Alexander).
Harun - Exalted. Hope.
Akhtar - Star.
Raif - Forgiving.
Faisal - Decisive, Resolute.
Rashid - Guide to the right path.
Saeed - Fortunate. Blissful.
Ghazan - Holy war fighter.
Samandar - Ocean.
Khalid - Eternal.
Raees - Wealthy. Chief.
Rokhan - Clear. Light.
Salahuddin - Righteousness of the faith.
Tariq - Name of a star.
Tufan - Hurricane. Storm.
Sulayman - Name of one of the prophets (AS). Peace. Mountain range in Afghanistan.
Shaheen - Eagle.
Yahiya - Living.
Yunus - Name of one of the prophets (AS).

They are not all Pashtun names.
