Balkh

The name Balkh is a classic masculine title rooted in Persian tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Ancient city in Afghanistan (Mother of Cities)', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

Pronounced as Balkh, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Balkh is an ancient city in northern Afghanistan, long a center of learning in the Persianate world and the ancestral home of the poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi's family.
