Naaz meaning
Naaz (ناز) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Glory, pride; endearing ways, playful coquetry; grace, delicacy
Naaz (ناز) is the Persian word nāz, which passed into Urdu and Hindi with all its shades intact. Steingass's dictionary gives glory and pride first, then the endearing ways and playful coquetry of lovers, and finally grace, delicacy and freshness. Name lists give Naaz as "pride" or "glory", and in everyday Urdu and Hindi to be someone's naaz is to be their pride and joy. The word also gives the related names Nazish and Nazneen. It is a short, old-fashioned name that still turns up as a first name and as part of compound names.
