Fakhrunnisa meaning
Fakhrunnisa (فخرالنساء) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
Pride and glory of women
Also used to mean: pride of women
Fakhrunnisa (فخرالنساء) joins Arabic fakhr, "glory, excellence", and nisāʾ, "women", to mean "the pride and glory of women". Lane's lexicon gives fakhr as glory or excellence, and also the act of glorying in one's merits; Platts gives nisāʾ as women, the female sex. Names of this pattern, such as Zeb-un-Nisa and Badr-un-Nisa, were used in Mughal India and are still used by Indian Muslim families, often shortened at home. Name lists give Fakhrunnisa as "pride of women".
