Mazhar meaning
Mazhar (مظہر) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
A place of appearance; a manifestation; a view
Mazhar (مظہر) is the Arabic maẓhar, from ẓahara, "to appear, become manifest". Platts's Urdu dictionary gives it as a place where something appears, such as a stage or theatre, and as a manifestation or view. Lane's Arabic lexicon records an older sense, a place of ascent or a high rank. Name lists give the meaning as "appearance" or "manifestation", matching the Urdu sense. A famous bearer is Mirza Mazhar Jan-e-Janaan (1699–1781), a Sufi poet and scholar of Delhi counted among the four pillars of Urdu poetry.
