الوردة البرية
Nasreen (نسرین) is a well-documented Persian female name adopted into Urdu and other South Asian Muslim naming traditions. Etymologically it derives from Persian nasrīn, denoting a wild or field rose — smaller and more natural than cultivated garden roses — and the term is frequently encountered in Persian poetry and classical literature to evoke delicate, natural beauty. The name has appeared across Persianate literatures and in Urdu cultural contexts; it is not scriptural (not cited in the Quran) but is historically attested as a given name in Persian and South Asian registers. Related names and floral peers include [[Nargis]], [[Nazneen]] and [[Gulnar]].
