Mahoor

Mahoor is a Persian given name, primarily used for females. The name is derived from the Persian word "maah" meaning moon, and the suffix "-oor" which can imply "like" or "of". Thus, Mahoor can be interpreted as "moon-like" or "of the moon". It is a popular name in Iran and other Persian-speaking communities. The name is associated with beauty and radiance, drawing parallels to the luminous quality of the moon. It is a relatively modern name, gaining popularity in the latter half of the 20th century. While primarily a female name, it is occasionally used for males in some regions. The pronunciation of Mahoor is generally stressed on the first syllable, "MAH-oor". There are no widely known historical or mythological figures prominently named Mahoor. The name's appeal lies in its poetic meaning and gentle sound.
