Mehwish

Meaning of Mehwish

Mehwish (may-VEESH) is a luminous name of Persian–Urdu origin that literally means “moon-like,” evoking images of silver light rippling across calm night skies. In South Asian poetry, a Mehwish is the one who turns heads the way a full moon pulls every gaze upward, so the name comes pre-packed with a touch of quiet drama. Still wonderfully rare in the United States—hovering around just half a dozen baby girls a year—it offers parents the sweet spot of being easy on the ear yet delightfully uncommon on the playground roll call. With its built-in sense of serenity and a whisper of celestial wonder, Mehwish feels perfect for a little girl whose future might be written in moonbeams, stargazing and big, gentle dreams.
