The baby name Ferdous is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced fer-DOOS (IPA: /fərˈduːs/).
Ferdous is Arabic, Bengali, Urdu in Origin.
Ferdous derives from Arabic Firdaws (فردوس), borrowed from Middle Persian and ultimately Old Iranian pairidaeza "walled garden," the source of Greek paradeisos. In the Qur'an, al-Firdaws names the loftiest garden of Jannah, so the meaning is "paradise; highest heaven." The Persian form Ferdows shaped South Asian spellings.
As a given name, Ferdous spread through the Persianate and wider Muslim world, appearing in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and especially Bengali use. In Bangladesh it is chiefly masculine, while elsewhere variants can be unisex. In Malay/Indonesian contexts it is also used for women. Common transliterations include Firdaus, Firdaws, Firdous, Ferdows, and Firdos; related nisbas include Ferdowsi/Firdawsi ("of paradise"), famously borne by the Persian poet. The name evokes spiritual reward and lush beauty. The name is well established in Bangladesh and among diaspora communities.
