Sanober meaning
Sanober (صنوبر) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin.
Any cone-bearing tree, a fir; also the pistachio nut
Also used to mean: pine tree
Sanober (صنوبر) is the Persian ṣanaubar, a word also used in Arabic and Urdu. Steingass's Persian dictionary defines it as any cone-bearing tree, a fir, and also the edible nut, and it records the poetic compound ṣanaubar-khirām, "swaying like a fir-tree in walking", praise for a tall and graceful gait. Name lists give Sanober as "pine tree", which matches. The name is used for girls in India and Pakistan, and in Central Asia as Sanobar.
