Mehnaz meaning
Mehnaz (مہناز) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Parts: māh, "moon" + nāz, "pride, grace, delicacy"
Also used to mean: pride of the moon, grace of the moon
Mehnaz (مہناز) joins two Persian words: māh, "moon", and nāz. Steingass's dictionary defines nāz as glory and pride, the playful coaxing of lovers or parents, and also grace, softness and delicacy; the related nāzanīn means delicate, charming or beloved. Put together, the name suggests the pride or grace of the moon, and name lists give it as "pride of the moon" or "moon's grace". The compound is not itself a dictionary word, so its meaning comes from its parts. Mehnaz and Mahnaz are both used in India and Iran.
