Morvarid (مروارید) is a Persian female name meaning 'pearl'. The word itself is classical Persian and appears frequently in Persian poetry and prose as a metaphor for purity, beauty, and rarity. As a given name, Morvarid has been adopted by Persian-speaking Muslim families and carries strong literary and aesthetic connotations rather than religious prescription. While the name does not appear in the Quran, its attestation in classical Persian sources and modern usage among Iranian and Persianate communities makes it a historically grounded choice. Those exploring comparable Persian feminine names may consult [[Mina]] and [[Marjan]] for additional gemstone or sea-related imagery in names. Morvarid remains uncommon internationally but recognizable in Persian cultural contexts.
