Gulbahar meaning
Gulbahar (گل بہار) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Flower of spring (gul, 'rose, flower' + bahār, 'spring')
Also used to mean: spring flower, spring rose
Gulbahar (گل بہار) puts together two Persian words: gul, a rose or flower, and bahār, spring. Steingass' dictionary gives bahār as spring or the beginning of summer, and also as a blossom, especially orange blossom. The compound itself does not appear in the old dictionaries, so its meaning is read from its parts: "flower of spring". Name lists agree, giving "spring flower" or "spring rose". The name is used across the Persian-speaking world, in Turkey as Gülbahar, and by Muslim families in India and Pakistan.
