Shahzeb meaning
Shahzeb (شاہ زیب) is a Muslim boy's name of Persian origin.
Ornament of the king; from shāh, king, and zeb, ornament, beauty
Also used to mean: king's beauty, king's adornment
Shahzeb (شاہ زیب) is a Persian compound of shāh, "king", and zeb, "ornament, beauty", formed like the Mughal emperor's name Aurangzeb, "ornament of the throne". Steingass gives zīb or zeb as ornament, elegance and beauty, with zīb u zīnat, "elegance and beauty", and zībā, "beautiful", from the same word. Read the same way, Shahzeb means "ornament of the king" or "royal beauty". Steingass has no entry for the compound itself, so the meaning is built from its parts. Name lists give "king's beauty" or "king's adornment".
