Graceful and timeless, the name Effat is a beautiful choice for a baby girl. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Chastity, virtue (Variant of Iffat)', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Persian/Arabic regions, Effat has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Effat, like the alternate spelling Iffat, comes from the Arabic root '-f-f, meaning “to abstain” or “be chaste.”
