Qamar Gul

Qamar Gul (in Perso‑Arabic script: قمر گل or قمرگل, pronunciation: qamar-gul) is a historically attested compound female name found in Pashto- and Persian-speaking Muslim communities. The first element, 'Qamar' (قمر), is Arabic for 'moon'; the second element 'Gul' (گل) is Persian/Pashto for 'flower'. Compound names combining an Arabic celestial term with Persian floral terms are a well-established pattern in South-Central Asia; Qamar Gul specifically conveys the image of a flower of the moon or moon-like floral radiance. It is used particularly in Afghanistan and among Pashtuns in Pakistan, and in Persianate folk-naming contexts. Related names include [[Qamar]] (moon) and [[Gulbahar]] (spring flower), which share the celestial or floral semantic domain. Qamar Gul is therefore classified under 'Names Meaning Moon and Floral' and is chosen by families seeking a poetic, regionally rooted name that blends Arabic and Persian lexical heritage.
