قمر النساء: القمر بين النساء أو جمال النساء

Qamarunnisa (قمر النساء) is a compound feminine name combining Arabic qamar (قمر, 'moon') and al-nisāʼ (النساء, 'the women'), yielding the meaning 'moon of the women' or 'the most radiant among women'. The formation follows an established pattern in Arabic and Persianate onomastics (e.g., Qamar al-Din, Nur al-Huda) and is attested in Muslim naming registers in South Asia and Iran. The element nisāʼ is also the title of the Quranic surah An-Nisa (The Women), though the full compound Qamarunnisa does not occur as a personal name in the Quranic text. The name appears in historical registers and family genealogies in Persianate and South Asian sources; its usage emphasizes poetic imagery of lunar beauty. Related names include [[Qamar]] and [[Nisa]], each independently attested across Arabic, Persian and South Asian contexts. Qamarunnisa remains uncommon in modern registries, prized in scholarly onomastic studies for its classical morphology and Persianate transmission.
