Almas meaning
Almas (الماس) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
A diamond
Almas (الماس) is the Persian and Urdu word for a diamond. Steingass' Persian dictionary defines almās as a diamond, and records compounds such as almās-tarāsh, "diamond-cutter", almās-reza, "diamond dust", and almāsī-rang, "bright and transparent like a diamond". Name lists give Almas simply as "diamond", matching the dictionary. It is a girl's name used by Urdu-speaking Muslim families in India and Pakistan.
