مِصَاغ: ميثاق/عهد أو خاتم الخاتم الذي يختم به الوعد

Misagh (مصاغ / مِصَاغ) is a masculine name found in Persian-speaking Muslim contexts and derived from the Arabic-Persian lexical field of pledges and seals. Linguistically, it aligns with words for a pledge or signet used to seal agreements, and in Persian onomastics it has been used as a poetic personal name meaning 'covenant' or 'pledge'. The name is attested in modern Iran and Afghanistan in given-name registers and appears in contemporary literature and personal records rather than as a prophetic or Qur'anic proper name. Misagh relates conceptually to other names built on the idea of oath and trust; see [[Mastan]] and [[Mishkat]] as nearby poetic choices. It carries a formal, slightly archaic tone and is chosen by families seeking a name that signals fidelity and solemn promise.
