Lalarukh (لالہ رخ / لالا رخ) is a Persian-derived female name formed from laleh/lala (tulip) and rukh/rukkh (face), giving the literal image ‘tulip-faced’ or ‘one with cheeks like a tulip’ — understood as ‘rosy-faced’ or ‘flower-like visage’. The compound is attested in Persian-influenced South Asian usage and became known in wider literary circles (for example in 19th-century Persianate and Urduate romantic literature). While not a Quranic name, Lalarukh belongs to the corpus of poetic names adopted by Muslim communities shaped by Persian aesthetics, especially in Sindhi and Pashto areas.
