79 Elegant Pakistani Girl Names With Meanings

Pakistan baby girl names are largely influenced by their culture and tradition. So, these names identify the individual and give an idea about their family and heritage since they carry a history. Read on as we learn more to understand Pakistan baby girl names better.

Pakistan has historically been ruled by many civilizations, including the Indus Valley Civilization (1), Persian, Arabic, and Islamic inhabitants. The influence of these cultures can be seen in the naming traditions of Pakistanis. For instance, many Pakistani baby names are rooted in Arabic and Persian languages, while some baby names have Arab origins. The names with Islamic roots tend to carry profound meanings and are related to attributes of Allah or qualities admired in prophets and other revered figures.

Pakistan's cultural diversity adds to the depth of naming customs. They have separate name practices for each province and ethnic group. For example, names in Punjab are frequently derived from Punjabi, Sanskrit, or Persian languages. Sindhi names, too, are influenced by the Sindhi language and have Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic roots.

In addition to linguistic origins, cultural customs also greatly influence naming girls in Pakistan. In most households, the elders, particularly the grandparents, provide names for the child. Traditions, family lineage, and spiritual influences often guide their choices.

The name of the baby is decided in a traditional ‘Aqiqah’ ceremony, which is important in Pakistani culture. Aqiqah, performed on the seventh day after the birth of a child, entails the sacrifice of livestock to commemorate the baby's birth (2). On this day, parents consult religious scriptures or seek help from religious authorities to choose a suitable and meaningful name for their child.
