Niyamat meaning
Niyamat (ਨਿਆਮਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Arabic origin (Punjabi usage).
A gift, bounty or blessing; also wealth, livelihood
Niyamat (ਨਿਆਮਤ) is the Arabic word niʿmat, which came into Punjabi through Persian. The Mahan Kosh gives its main sense as bakhshish, a gift or bounty freely given, and adds wealth and livelihood; a second dictionary on the same site renders it as a boon, a blessing or a God-given gift. The everyday Punjabi and Urdu sense is the same: something good that one has been given. As a girl's name it is a recent choice in Sikh families, one of a group of names taken from Arabic words of grace such as Rehmat and Ibadat. Another English spelling is Niamat.
