Farahnaz meaning
Farahnaz (فرح ناز) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic and Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Joy and grace; from faraḥ 'joy' and nāz 'grace, endearment'
Also used to mean: joyful, graceful, happy and charming
Farahnaz (فرح ناز) joins Arabic faraḥ, "joy, gladness", the source of the name Farah, with Persian nāz, which Steingass defines as pride, the playful charm and endearments of the beloved, and elegance. Together they suggest a girl who is both a joy and a delight. Name lists give Farahnaz as "joyful and graceful" or "happy and charming". The name is used in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India; Princess Farahnaz Pahlavi of Iran is a well-known bearer. Families often shorten it to Farah or Naz.
