ورد بريّ، نسرين

Nisrin (Persian: نسرین; pronounced nis-RIN) denotes the wild rose, a small fragrant rose common in Persia and neighboring regions. The name has a long presence in Persian literature and subsequently entered naming practice among Kurdish and Arabic-speaking populations, where it is used as a feminine given name. Though not a Quranic name, Nisrin has been borne by Muslim women historically and remains a classical, slightly uncommon choice for families seeking a poetic, nature-inspired name. In regional usage it conveys delicacy, fragrance, and natural beauty. Related names with botanical or Kurdish resonances include [[Berfin]] and [[Rim]], which are similarly concise nature-themed feminine names used in Muslim contexts. Nisrin’s spelling appears in several transliterations (Nisrin, Nisrine) but the meaning consistently refers to the wild rose in Persian and adjacent languages.
