Khushnuma meaning
Khushnuma (خوشنما) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Pleasing to look at, attractive, lovely
Also used to mean: pleasant, delightful, happy
Khushnuma (خوشنما) is a Persian and Urdu word made of khush, "good, pleasant, happy", and numā, "showing" or "appearing". Platts's Urdu dictionary defines khush-numā as pleasing to look at, attractive or lovely, and lists khush-numāʼī for beauty or splendour. In everyday Urdu it describes a pleasant sight, a well-kept garden or a cheerful scene. Name lists give Khushnuma as "pleasant" or "delightful", and some as "happy", which comes from its first part. It is used by Muslim families across north India.
