Frequently Asked Questions Related To Names In Urdu
What Is Unique In Pakistan?
Pakistan is unique for its traditional food, ancient historical places and cultural diversity. It’s mainly the food that holds the backbone of Pakistan. Lahore’s Siri paye, Karachi’s Biryani, Peshawar’s chapli kabab, and many more are popular and unique cuisines of each city of Pakistan.

What Is The Turkish Name For Miracle?
The popular Turkish name with the meaning Miracle is Mucize Moo-je-zah. However, it isn’t commonly used As a proper name. Instead, Turkish people use names with meanings similar to Miracle like Harika, which means wonder and Mucella which means sacred or blessed.
What Is The Prettiest Arabic Name?
Arabic names, as a whole, are the cutest and the prettiest and there is a long list of such Arabic names. So, choosing two or three of the prettiest Arabic names is challenging. Yet, if you ask me, I personally like Mariam مریم meaning beloved, Zahra زھرة meaning flower, Amina آمنة meaning faithful, and Ayesha عائشۃ meaning living, to name some. The main reason behind liking these girls’ names in particular is these are the names of the women associated with the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
Similarly, for boys, the names that are related to religious figures are admired because of their beautiful meaning and religious importance. For instance, Hamza حمزة meaning steadfast or strong, Ahmed احمد meaning praiseworthy or highly commendable, Abdullah عبداللہ meaning servant of God, Isa عیسہ meaning salvation of God, Haider حیدر meaning Lion, etc.
Note that, Muslim Pakistanis mostly use Arabic names to name their child either Girl or Boy.
