Dilnawaz meaning
Dilnawaz (دلنواز) is a Muslim boy's name of Persian origin.
Soothing; gracious; a beloved
Also used to mean: one who comforts the heart
Dilnawaz (دلنواز) is Persian dil-nawāz, from dil, "heart", and nawāz, "one who caresses, soothes or comforts". Steingass's dictionary defines the compound as soothing and gracious, and also as a beloved. Put together, it describes a person who brings comfort to the heart, and name lists give the meaning as "one who comforts the heart" or "soothing", in line with the dictionary. The name is used mostly for boys in India and Pakistan, and occasionally for girls; it is also written as two words, Dil Nawaz.
