With its Persian roots, Mahtab is a unique unisex choice carrying profound meaning. The literal meaning, 'Moonlight', evokes imagery of nature and radiance, suggesting a personality full of life and positivity.

In Persian culture, names are more than labels; they are prayers. Mahtab is widely respected for its positive connotations. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Mahtab, like the alternate spelling Mehtab, is a Persian compound of “mah” (moon) and “tab” (shine, from “taftan,” to shine), meaning “moonlight.”
