Capturing elegance and depth, Sahar stands out as a meaningful name for your daughter. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Dawn, early morning', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Quranic regions, Sahar has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Sahar comes from the Arabic root s-h-r, meaning the pre-dawn hour. The Quran (51:18) describes the righteous as those who seek forgiveness “bil-ashar,” in the hours before dawn.
