Dilnaz meaning
Dilnaz (دلناز) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Heart's pride and grace; from dil 'heart' and nāz 'grace, endearment'
Also used to mean: heart's delight, beloved of the heart, graceful
Dilnaz (دلناز) joins two Persian words: dil, "heart", and nāz, which Steingass defines as pride and glory, the playful airs and endearments of a lover or a parent, and elegance or softness. Together they suggest a girl who is the heart's pride and delight. Name lists give Dilnaz as "heart's delight", "beloved of the heart" or "graceful". The name is used by Muslim families in India and Central Asia, and the spelling Delnaz is a Parsi name.
