Persian and Urdu names such as Parvez (‘victorious/fortunate’), Feroz (‘successful/turquoise’), Shabana, and Shanaya are entirely valid Islamic names for Indian Muslim families. The Mughal and pre-Mughal Persianate influence on South Asian Muslim culture spans over a thousand years, and Persian has historically been considered a language of Islamic scholarship, poetry, and court culture alongside Arabic. As covered in the general principle of Islamic naming, the language of origin is not what determines validity — the meaning is. As long as a Persian or Urdu name carries a good, permissible meaning free from shirk or negative connotation, it is a completely legitimate choice, and reflects the rich, diverse heritage of the global Muslim ummah.
