Gulaab is Urdu in Origin.
Gulaab is a South Asian given name taken from the Hindi–Urdu word gulāb (Devanagari: गुलाब; Urdu: گلاب), ‘rose’. The term comes via Persian golāb (گلآب) ‘rosewater’, from gol/gul ‘flower, rose’ + āb ‘water’; in Indo‑Aryan languages the sense generalized to the rose itself, carrying associations of beauty, fragrance, and love.
Used among Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs across North India, Pakistan, and Nepal, Gulaab functions as a unisex name, though historical bearers such as Maharaja Gulab Singh make the masculine use familiar. It appears as a standalone given name or as the first element in compounds (e.g., Gulab Chand, Gulab Kaur) and as a familial middle/surname in some regions. Common variants and spellings include Gulab, Gulāb, Gulaab, and Bengali Golap; related forms in neighboring languages are Gul, Gül (Turkish), Gulbahar, and Gulzar. The name conveys a gentle, auspicious image linked to the emblematic rose.
