Pakistani Baby Names with Meanings
1,049 names used in Pakistani naming, with meanings — Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Punjabi and more.
Pakistani names are mostly Arabic and Persian names filtered through Urdu, with a strong Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto and Kashmiri layer beneath. Boys are very often given Muhammad as a first name with a second “calling” name (Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Hamza); girls’ names lean towards Persian softness — Zoya, Alina, Mahnoor, Hoorain, Eshal are the current favourites. Meanings matter a great deal, and family elders are usually consulted before the aqiqah.
The list below combines Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Pashto, Punjabi and Kashmiri names as they are used in Pakistan. Spellings follow the most common romanisation; if you prefer another spelling, search by sound in the finder.
