Urdu Baby Names

220 Urdu names with researched meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.

Urdu names are lush and poetic — the language was built for verse, and it shows. Urdu baby names tend to be graceful on the tongue and rich in meaning, carrying warmth, faith and beauty in equal measure. If you want something melodic that still feels dignified, this is a wonderful place to look.

Popular Urdu Girl Names

Hafsa, Aiza, Iman and Sidra are much-loved. For softer, more lyrical picks there is Yasmeen, Ameena, Saira and Sitara, while Jannat and Sakina carry real devotional weight.

Strong Urdu Boy Names

Haroon, Yousuf and Hussain lead with dignity, joined by Haider, Asad and Hashim. For something more contemporary, Farhan, Azaan, Subhan and Arsalan are excellent.

The Music of Urdu Names

Urdu draws on Persian and Arabic roots, so its names inherit centuries of poetry — long, open vowels and a natural rhythm. Said aloud, they simply sound lovely, which is half of why a name lasts.

Every name below links to its own page with a sourced meaning, U.S. popularity, famous bearers, and a clear audio pronunciation — so you can hear it before you choose.
