Mayar

Mayar (معیار) is an uncommon feminine name rooted in Persian and Urdu vocabulary where 'mayar' denotes a standard, gauge, or benchmark by which quality and worth are judged. In South Asian Muslim naming practices, the word has been adopted as a given name to express dignity, honor, moral standard, and social respectability. The name appears in Urdu literature and occasional Sindhi usage as a refined, modern-sounding name rather than a classical Arabic appellation; it is therefore culturally South Asian with Persian linguistic origin. Parents choosing Mayar often intend to convey aspirations of integrity, esteem, and measured excellence for their daughter. For related thematic resonance see [[Mehrban]] and [[Maymunah]] (names sharing connotations of kindness, esteem, and respect in regional usage). There is no direct Quranic occurrence of Mayar; its usage is literary and cultural.
